Kidney stones after a cycle - normal?

[Weru]

After running a cycle with testosterone, winstrol and trenbolone for 14 weeks (winny was 6 last weeks only) I started to feel strong pain in the lower back. The doctor told me today that I have kidney stones, and will have to get them treated. Can steroids cause this? How can I avoid this on next cycle?

No, steroids do not cause kidney stones because the mechanism of kidney stone formation has nothing to do with the effects of steroids. Seems like it was just an unlucky coincidence that you got kidney stones right after the cycle. Get them treated, and run future cycles without worrying too much.

the best way to avoid kidney stones is drink more water, something most people fail to do

steroids aren't going to directly cause them but they are something that athletes who aren't hydrating properly will be prone to get as they get older
