Kidney stones are typically formed in the kidney due to several reasons like high calcium intake, genetics, less fluid intake, holding urge of urination, source of water, etc. Kidney stone less than 3-4 mm can pass easily without causing any symptoms like abdominal pain, nausea etc. But if the size exceeds above 4 mm, there are chances that it might get stuck in the ureters which can create moderate to severe symptoms.
