Kidney stones are hard deposits formed by the build-up of minerals such as calcium or waste products such as uric acid in the kidneys. They are tiny when they are formed, but as more minerals add to them, they may grow larger.
Some kidney stones move on their own and can be treated with home remedies, while other kidney stones can get trapped in your urinary tract. In the latter case, surgery is usually required to get rid of these painful kidney stones.
