Question 1

how long does it take for a kidney stone to pass, mine was noticed in february this year and its still there, as of the last few days i've had to urinate more than usual?

Accepted Answer

It varies a lot : It may take days, weeks, month, years or never for a stone to pass. It really depends on the size of the stone. Ultrasound waves can be used to break up large stones to help them pass. You may want to check with a urologist and have an ultrasound image taken of the kidney, urether, and bladder to reevaluate the stone size. Ct scan can also give information on the stone.

Question 2

i still have a little pain on my left side after kidney stone surgery and stent removable?

Accepted Answer

Probably normal: It is very common to have some flank pain after removing a stent.  You should be evaluated for a urinary tract infection since you were instrumented.  In addition you may have some stone fragments still present.  You shoud see your urologist for a follow up.

Question 3

my son is 34, he went to hosp the morning with lots of pain.he has kidney stone. still in lots of pain.the stone has not pass.should he return to hosp?

Accepted Answer

Kidney stone: Yes, if he is still in a lot of pain he should return to the hospital. Hopefully they can do a procedure to felieve him of his stone and pain as well.

Question 4

can you pass a kidney stone with little pain, covered in mucous?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: It is possible for stones to pass without much pain. Few patients are this lucky. Passing a kidney stone is famously compared to childbirth. Pain occurs if the progress of the stone is held up, and the ureter squeezes against the obstruction. If the size & orientation of the kidney stone are favorable, is may pass without much difficulty. Matrix stones appear to be covered in a gelatinous coat.

Question 5

im a dude i have a kidney stone its 2mm big. can i masterbate with it in me, its still passing ? will it hurt if i do masterbate before it passes?

Accepted Answer

Yes: That is a relatively small stone. I would not let it change the way you live your life. It should not hurt  anything.

Question 6

it has been little over a week and i have yet to pass my 2 mm kidney stone. should i be worried? been having constant pain and drinking lots of water.

Accepted Answer

Keep drinking water: Sometimes the stones can irritate your kidneys for a long time.  Your stone may or not pass depending on its location.  If you are having persistent pain, you can be followed with an ultrasound to see if your kidney is getting obstructed.

Question 7

can i take toradol with percocet? i'm trying to pass a kidney stone, and the pain is still intense, even with the percocet

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can take: toradol with percocet. No bad interactions.

Question 8

how log does it take to pass a small  kidney stone? i have been dealing with the pain for over a week to a week and a half ago. i urinate frequently.

Accepted Answer

Tamsulosin: It can take a long time or you may not pass it without surgery. Tamsulosin is a prescription drug that increases your chance of passing a stone less than 8 mm up to about 80%. Seek emergent care if you develop a fever with this stone.

Question 9

my kidney stone is 4mm x 1cm long.had it ct scanned & it has an inch of ureter to still pass thru. is it going to pass to my bladder?  taking flomax (tamsulosin)

Accepted Answer

Sounds: Like it has a chance.If the pain is too much call your urologist and they can go after it and temporarily stent your ureter. Be sure to drink fluid to flush it if you want to pass it. Do you have enough pain meds at home?

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Stone: That most likely is not the cause of your pain but you have to drink a lot of fluids if no other contraindications. Follow up with the doctor.
