Kidney Stones
Kidney stones are hard mineral and salt deposits that form in the kidneys. They can vary greatly in size and can block the urinary tract, leading to significant pain and discomfort. Kidney stones affect around 12% of the Indian population and cause hundreds of thousands of emergency room visits each year.
