A kidney stone is a solid piece of material that forms in the kidney out of substances in the urine. A stone may stay in the kidney or break loose and travel down the urinary tract. A small stone may pass all the way out of the body without causing too much pain.
How do you get rid of kidney stones? Most people pass a kidney stone without surgery or intervention. The stone works its way from the kidney wall and through the urinary tract, where it is expelled from the body. However, the process of passing a kidney stone is considered extremely painful.
Kidney stones are solid accumulations of material that form in the tubal system of the kidney. They cause painful problems when they block the flow of urine through or out of the kidney. Urine is formed by the kidneys.
Your kidney stone is still inside the kidney. There is no way to predict how long it will be before it breaks free and causes any symptoms. Most stones will pass on their own within a few hours to a few days (sometimes longer). You may notice a red, pink, or brown color to your urine.
