Kidney Stones & Gender, Family History And Genetics

Men are more likely than women to develop kidney stones in the ureters(3 times more than women), and the age most likely for them to develop ureterolithiasis is between 20 and 30 years old.

Genetics also play a role. The likelihood of having ureterolithiasis rises dramatically if other people in the family have dealt with kidney stones.
