Approximately 1 million people each year are afflicted with the sudden, painful onset of kidney stones.
These stones are crystallized minerals (most commonly calcium) which are broken down from the waste and excess water in the kidneys.
These minerals are typically disposed of through ones urine, however, large intakes of high fructose corn syrup will drastically decrease the metabolic rate of the liver.
When this occurs, the levels of calcium in the blood greatly increases, leading to an increase of calcium build up in the kidneys that process the blood.
Many of the signs and symptoms of kidney stones usually will occur suddenly.
Without warning or remorse, these little pebbles of calcium wreak havoc in your urinary tract, causing symptoms of kidney pain, groin pain, blood in the urine, and difficulty urinating.
The kidney and groin pain happens because the 'stones' have an extremely rough and jagged surface.
As you move around and shift position, the stone bounces around the kidneys, grazing the walls.
If this stone is large enough to begin to pass through the urinary tract, it can become stuck and cause severe groin pain.
When you move around while the stone is trapped, it puts pressure on the urinary tract, where there is not much room to begin with.
This can cause tiny scrapes in the lining of the urethra, which will slowly seep blood.
Also, it will cause difficulty passing urine, as the urine has less room to pass through the urinary tract.
It's very common for one to become frightened when they see that they are urinating even small amounts of blood.
Seeing blood in your urine is not life-threatening, and may not necessarily be the result of a kidney stone.
This may simply be the result of a urinary tract infection (UTI).
Since these two conditions present similar symptoms, they're often confused with each other.
If you feel you are having these symptoms, schedule an appointment with your doctor.
