Studies have shown that there is a higher prevalence for kidney stones in hotter and wetter climates, and in the U.S., that means the South, also known as the \u00abStone Belt\u00bb. Also contributing to the frequency of kidney stones in the South is the Southern diet: rich in fried foods, mayonnaise, dressings, salty meats, and even iced tea.<\/p>\n

To quote \u201cThe Tennessean:\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Needles to the groin\u2019 or \u2018knife in the back\u2019 are two of the ways\u00a0people recount the pain of passing a kidney stone. It seems most people in the South know someone who can personally describe a jagged crystalline stone moving through a sensitive part of the anatomy.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Oak<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cPopulation studies show that Southerners are up to 50 percent more likely to develop stones,\u201d says Nicole Miller, M.D., a surgeon specializing in stone disease and endourology at\u00a0Vanderbilt University Medical Center Urology Clinic.<\/p>\n

About one in ten people will get a kidney stone at some point in their lifetime, and more than 500,000 people in the U.S. make a trip to the emergency room for the excruciating pain resulting from a kidney stone. Diet, not drinking enough water, hereditary factors, and lack of exercise can all contribute to getting a stone, and sometimes, the reason is unknown.<\/p>\n

Changing one\u2019s diet and getting more exercise can reduce the risk of kidney stones, but if you have one, you\u2019re not alone\u2026and you\u2019re not to blame. It can happen. So, what are your treatment options?<\/p>\n
