Does the risk of kidney stones increase in summer? Expert suggest ways to prevent

Kidney stones are a common and painful problem. As soon as the summer season arrives, the number of patients in hospitals increases rapidly. Many people think that stones form only in summer. To know how much truth there is in this, we spoke to Dr Prashant Jain, Associate Director of Urology at PSRI Hospital. According to the doctor, the risk of kidney stones does not increase in the summer season, but kidney stones form throughout the year. Stone formation is a continuous process, which depends on the person's diet, lifestyle, weather and metabolic conditions. Some people have a tendency to form stones. Such people keep forming small stones slowly throughout the year, which keep accumulating silently in the kidneys.
