The Signs and symptoms of kidney stones?

The formation of a kidney stone generally results in severe pain in the lower back just under the ribs. The pain is not consistent but it is very intense and can last anywhere from a few seconds to a few hours. It will eventually go away for a few hours and then recur. In some cases, the pain will move down into the groin area.

Small, smooth kidney stones may remain in the kidney or pass without causing pain (called "silent" stones). Stones that lodge in the tube that carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder (ureter) cause the urinary system to spasm and produce pain.
