Anyone who is really young have kidney stones?

I had kidney stones in my early 20's and have passed more stones than I can count in my lifetime. They say they are usually hereditary but no one in my family has ever had them. I had them again when I was pregnant and they figured out my body does not make citric acid (which helps prevent them from forming) so I will have to battle them my whole life. It is very painful, I certainly feel for dd. The best thing to do is drink 1-2 liters of water a day and things that are citrus like lemons or limes in the water helps too. I had to have surgery several times at lithrotripsy didn't work for me. Medications can be causes too certainly. Make sure dd sees a urologist.

I have a friend in his 20's who have the same problem of having kidney trouble. He was hospitalized one day because he can't endure the pain anymore. It's a good thing the stone was removed.

JUst the way some bodies are made and why are they waiting another week ? are they giving her something to break them up? My son in law had one in is 30s I thought he was going to have a baby before I got him to the hospital for he sounded like he was in labor/ They gave him something and he passed it the next day but ya do have to make sure she drinks lots and lots of water. I knew a girl that was 17 and had 32 gallstones took out. That is rare too. For that young . am praying for her that all gets out soon hugs to you both!

I got kidney stones the first time in 9th grade and my brother has been getting them since he was 8. He can develop a kidney stone the size of a golf ball in just a couple of hours.
