Question 2

i passed a 2mm kidney stone yesterday and now today seem to have frequent urination with what seems like very little flow. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: You should see your doc for a urine culture. You can rule out infection related to the stones.

Question 3

i was told i have kidney stones and it's close to my bladder. lately i've had frequent urination. is this a sign it's stuck or that it's coming out?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: The sign that you stone is moving close to the bladder would generally be increased pain, as the ureter narrows as it gets close to the bladder.  Once you pass it into the bladder, the pain resolves, but is unlikely to cause frequent urination.  That is more likely from an infection, diabetes, or some other cause.  See your physician for testing.

UTI: It is more likely a bladder infection. If you have fever than perhaps a kidney stone.
