What Leads To Kidney Stone Formation?
My husband has been diagnosed with kidney stones this past week and passed three of them. He normally drinks a great amount of water/ice tea and juice per day- 8-10 glasses. He is still having pain. He has a hernia from lifting a/c units for about 2 years now, does that have anything to do with it? Also, he smokes pot once in a while not regularly, would that contribute to the formation of the kidney stones?

Hello
Thanks for query .
Your father has been detected to have stones in the kidney and Inguinal Hernia .
At the outset I would state that the stones he had in kidney are not due to inguinal hernia .
Kidney stones are usually formed due following many reasons
1) UTI
2) Metabolic disorders of Calcium .phosphate and Oxalates
3) Concentrated urine due to Drinking less water .
4) Hereditary factors
5) High atmoshpheric temperature (Hot Climate )
6) Obstructed urine flow .
