The urinary tract is a very important part of the body consisting of kidney, ureter, bladder and urethra. Nature has provided each individual with two kidneys, each one of which has one million nephrons or filtering units.
Kidney Stone & Urinary Tract Infection
It is a common urinary disorder. Stones are formed in the kidney or urinary tract from chemicals in the urine like uric acid, calcium, oxalic acid and phosphorus. Such stones cause severe pain when they attempt to pass down the ureter on their way to the bladder. Painful, scanty urination, nausea and vomiting are some of the symptoms.
