Urolithiasis, a common urological disorder affecting both males and females, results from the formation of stones in the urinary system due to crystal aggregation of dietary minerals. Major contributing factors include age, gender, climate, obesity, dietary habits, stress, low fluid intake, occupation, genetic predisposition, and metabolic changes. Prevention primarily involves dietary modifications and increased hydration. This retrospective quantitative study was conducted at Civil Hospital Jalandhar, Punjab, with 100 urolithiasis patients selected through purposive sampling.
