WHAT IS RENAL COLIC?

Renal colic is a pain that occurs anywhere in the urinary tract which includes the parts of kidney, urethra, bladder, and ureters. Renal colic occurs due to stone or calculi produces in any part of the urinary tract which may result in pie blockages. Due to it, severe pain occurred in the urinary tract. Sometimes, urine flow stops which results in severe pain.  Pain generally starts when there is a movement of stone or calculi in any part of the body. It remains for 15 minutes to 2 hours depending upon the size of the Stone. It is a buildup of any minerals in any part or urinary tract which stick with urine resulting in sizeable hard mass. Its due to this hard mass, this pains starts because it may block urine in the urinary tract. Majority of renal calculi contains calcium and other minerals which sticks to one position and remain deposits for a considerable time. After it, these small deposits becomes large stone which we called as calculi. If we eat too many things that are rich in calcium, then there are chances of calculi.
