6- What causes kidney stones?
Urine contains dissolved minerals and salts. When your urine has high levels of these minerals and salts, stones can form. Kidney stones can start small but can grow larger.
Some stones stay in the kidney and do not cause any problems. Sometimes, the kidney stone can travel down the ureter (tube between the kidney and the bladder). If the stone reaches the bladder, it can be passed out of the body in urine. If the stone becomes stuck in the ureter, it blocks the urine from the kidney and causes pain.
7- What is HPV?
