A member asked:

If my kidney stone is close to my bladder is the painful part over with? or will it be just as bad to urinate it?

Can't say: Well it depends on the size of the stone. Drink much water to flush it down.

Easier: Usually once the stone has arrived in the bladder, voiding it out through the urethra is relatively painless compared to the trip from the kidney to the bladder.

I am 17 years old. I think I passed a kidney or bladder stone once in my urine (no pain). I have not noticed any other symptoms or pain and have had normal urine for 1-2 weeks. Would you still advise seeing a doctor? Is this typically serious?
