Question 1

is itching a symptom of kidney stone?

Accepted Answer

No: Itching would be an unusual symptom of kidney stones (nephrolithiasis). Certain kidney conditions can lead to itching (pruritis), but not kidney stones.

Question 2

hello i a 44 yo male that had a stent (kidney to bladder for kidney stones) a week ago... it burns and itches constantly. and temp is 96.3. is this no?

Accepted Answer

Stent: Sounds like you have a double j stent and the tail in the bladder is irritating you. Suggest call the urologist and they can take a look with a cystosocope. Stent don't often irritate like you are feeling. Your temp is normal.

Question 3

i have a lit of itching and pain in my vagina i have two kidney stones in my right kidney is that a symptom of the kidney stone it also hurts urinate.?

Accepted Answer

More like infection: Kidney stones usually cause pain or no symptoms at all.  Infection in the urethra (tube coming from bladder to outside) or vagina cause this type of discomfort.  Get a clinic to check you so you don't have to suffer.  Also use protection for sex because some of these infections could be contagious.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Concerning.: A couple of things come to mind:  there can be something obstructing or compressing the urethra.   Sometimes medications can cause difficulty urinating like your describing.  It can be a urinary tract infection.  Finally, neurologic problems can cause this.  You really need to get evaluated by your physician and have a thorough exam and urine test.

Question 6

i have had kidney stones for 2 weeks severe pain passing urine but now my skin is itching is this normal?

Accepted Answer

No sure But...: Itching is not part of kidney stones to my knowledge. But, besides allergic reaction possibly, there is a possibility of high phosphates and/or high parathyroid hormone levels, both can cause stones and itching. Also, high kidney numbers can result from stones and can cause itching. Would discuss with my doctor to check these if not done.

Question 7

i have had a kidney stone for 2 weeks. i now itch all over. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

No: Itching all over is not normal, with or without kidney stones. Kidney stones are unlikely to be the cause. It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 8

can a kidney stone cause your abdomen to swell?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Not directly but if you're taking pain medicine, you may be getting constipated.

Question 9

can passing a kidney stone cause bladder spasms afterwards?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It can occasionally but if it continues consider seeing a doctor to make sure there is not an infection.

Question 10

can a kidney stone cause general discomfort while not moving in the kidney?

Accepted Answer

Kidney stone: Normally stones cause pain when they are trying to pass, some stones maybe too big and even they do not move, the can cause obstruction of the kidney and cause pain. Also, a stone associated with infection can cause discomfort.
