Due to antibiotics, ultra-processed food, and hot temperature, the problem of kidney stones is becoming common in teenagers and children. This has been revealed in research done in Philadelphia, America. The doctors also said that 30 years ago, the problem of kidney stones was considered to be a disease of adults, but now it is seen that people of all ages are suffering from this problem seriously.
The stone formed in the kidney is the accumulated form of minerals and salts, which sometimes starts obstructing the way of urine in our body. Statistics show that now this problem is becoming more visible, especially in adolescent girls. Experts believe that nowadays this problem occurs due to dehydration in the body due to increased use of junk food, antibiotics, and an increase in temperature.
High blood pressure is also related to obesity
The problem of kidney stones is an accumulation and then yellow-colored metabolic disorder, which is also known as nephrolithiasis. In this, minerals like calcium, oxalate, and phosphorus get deposited in the urine and then take a hard form of yellow color. Sometimes they are of the size of a small ball made of sand or even a golf ball. In some cases, this hard structure passes through the urinary tract, but many times it gets stuck in the urinary tract, due to which the patient has to face the problem of acute pain and bleeding.
It is dangerous for children to drink too many energy drinks.
Chips, energy drinks, and canned food lead to excess mineral salts in the body, which can increase the stones. It is especially harmful for children to drink less water and drink excessive amounts of fructose.
