Accepted Answer

Kidney stones: Recurrent kidney stones are usually a sign of an underlying metabolic disorder, such as hyperparathyroidism.  You need to see an internist for a thorough examination and blood work.

Question 2

for about the past 3 years i have had to strain/push really hard to urinate.i'm 25yof w/kidney stone on right side too big to pass.what could be wrong?

Accepted Answer

Urologist: You have had 3 years of difficulty with voiding.  You had a kidney stone but that is not related. See a urologist.  They will order a voiding cystogram.  This will allow them to study your bladder which may be abnormal.  You may benefit from treatment.  You may need other tests.  You may have had kidney damage.

Question 3

flank pain on both sides.  hard to get comfortable sitting or laying down. pain for three weeks that is constant. i've had three kidney stones in the past, and this doesn't feel like the same pain.

Accepted Answer

Flank pain: I would think it highly unusual that kidney stones would become symptomatic simultaneously on both sides. In addition you would know what kidney stone pain is like. Your symptoms are probably musculoskeletal, related to the vertebrae or lumbar muscles. Three weeks is a long time to suffer and it's time to be examined by a physician for diagnosis and treatment. Xrays and/or referral to a specialist

Question 4

i have to push really hard to pee. there's no pain and no other symptoms of a uti. could it be kidney stones?

Accepted Answer

Kidney stones: usually cause pain and blood in urine.  Your symptoms are not typical for kidney stones, but more of urethritis or bladder outlet obstruction.  Consult with a urologist.

Question 5

my husband just had kidney stones removed, bilateral lithotripsy i believe its called and wants to soak in our hot tub. while we work very hard to keep it clean and sanitized, hot water is a breeding ground for bacteria. is this safe?

Accepted Answer

: With a clean tub it is safe

Question 6

i think i have a kidney stone. i have very severe lower back pain that is radiating into my hips, and belly. i'm also peeing a lot and i'm having a hard time walking and moving around where the pain is so severe. how will it ease? just started today

Accepted Answer

Your 1st mistake was: diagnosing yourself. The only way to get any idea of how long it will last is if you really do have a kidney stone. But what if you don’t? With the symptoms you describe, I would NEVER assume that. It could be several other conditions including ectopic pregnancy. You need to be seen by someone who will take a history &amp; do an exam. Relying on Doctor Google is unwise &amp; could be dangerous.

Question 7

what foods should be avoided if a person has stones in her kidney?

Accepted Answer

Dehydration: More so than foods, it is allowing yourself to become dehydrated that can prompt problems with kidney stones, if predisposed. With high uric acid, you might have uric acid stones, in which case, should avoid (excess proteins / fats / hfcs), see: http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/gout-diet/my01137.

Question 8

what causes kidney stones?

Accepted Answer

Most just happen: Known causes are not drinking plenty of water, too much milk / antacids (rare), kidney infections (proteus bacteria), vitamin d abuse, some genetic tendencies to absorb too much calcium, and more.  Your physician will check you for gout, cystinuria, and hyperparathyroidism.

Question 9

which are signs of kidney stones?

Accepted Answer

Variable: Some kidney stones are asymptomatic, but even then may cause blood in the urine.  If they get large enough and/or cause obstruction in the kidney or ureter (the tube that carries urine to the bladder) they usually cause sudden pain in the back, side, flank or  pelvis/genitals, which can be very intense and come in waves.  Nausea and vomiting are also often reported and frequent/painful urination.

Question 10

i want  consultion for kidney stones?

Accepted Answer

Kidney stones: A urologist is your best bet. Ask your primary care doc. For referral.
