168348 tn?1379357075 I have 2 ovarian cysts (at the moment) and kidney stones (mine, too, stay in the kidney!) and i get very very sick and the pain gets so bad sometimes that all i want to do is sleep to pass the time, but sometimes i can't even sleep. the pain is the worst before menstruation. i'm 15 so it's hard to deal with the pain when i'm trying to do well in school.
Avatar f tn I also have msk and pass stones frequently . I also have cysts on my kidneys . They say that there is nothing to be concerned about . I have been dealing with this for 20 plus years now.
Avatar m tn Of course you are right about "many more than three types of stones"- that's why I said at least 3- should have said "more than 3" I guess! I didn't want to overwhelm her w/info- just wanted to impress upon her how important it is as a patient to be completely sure what her diagnosis actually is as isolated kidney stones and chronic cystic kidney disease are diff. things and it wasn't clear which she is dealing with.
Avatar f tn While I was pregnant I had kidney stones and a kidney infection. I ended up having a miscarriage at 8 weeks, and that was 2 weeks ago today. I went to the hospital last night with horrible kidney pain that went through to my abdomen and they did a CT scan and said I had kidney stones, a bladder infection and that the cyst on my ovaries from 4 months ago had grown to about 3.2. What is causing this? And what should I do about it? Are any of these things related? Should I worry about the cyst?
Avatar f tn Hi my husband has been suffering from kidney stones for 20 years now and his last bout was September 2013 were he had yet another blockage which had to be removed in October after a stent being inserted again. Ct scan after op in October 2013 showed another 2 x 2mm stones in left kidney always same kidney. He took renal colic pain beginning of March 2014 and got an emergency appointment with consultant who organised ultrasound.
Avatar f tn had the ct scan yesterday and they found nothing. No kidney stones, appendix looks ok and no ovarian cysts. I feel like I am back to square one! Went straight back to the doctors in the afternoon and she is puzzled. She said she wants to look at the ct scan/analysis herself and to see me again on Monday. She's given me some extra pain killers and told me to take the following. 8x paracetamol, 3x diclofenac, 4-8 codeine a day.
Avatar f tn Has she had a CT Scan w/o contrast in regard to the stones? What has it shown? I have an uncommon kidney condition called MSK (Medullary Sponge Kidney) along with having had out 1/2 my thryoid bcz of nodules that were atpical but my parathyroids were fine and all tests were A-OK that both my Uro and Endo have run inc. a 24hr urine test. Has your daughter had a 24hr urine test? That is important too.
Avatar f tn UTI can also be due to the polycystic kidney disease as well. Kidney stones and kidney failure are late-stage symptoms of the disease. I suggest you an immediate urologist’s evaluation. If the size of the stone is small, it’s usually treated with ESWL in which shock waves are given from outside and stone breaks into small pieces. On the other hand, if the stone is quite big, then the surgical removal of the stone is a better option. Also her renal functions need to be studied.
Avatar f tn Medullary sponge kidney disease may be asymptomatic in most people .Few people may have a UTI or kidney stone. UTIs and kidney stones share many of the same symptoms.MSK is suspected in patients with repeated UTIs or kidney stones. An x ray called an intravenous pyelogram can help confirm the diagnosis. No treatment can get rid of cysts in the affected kidneys.
192055 tn?1263555537 Doc ordered me a CT scan... scan was normal, no kidney stones. 2 days later, I got really hot and sweaty and sick feeling then felt something moving from my kidney to my bladder. Pain went down a little... For the last 4 months, I have had an occasional sharp pain mainly in my right kidney... maybe a really sharp pain about 4-5 times a week. Very occasional dull pain that would last for a few hours. Well, 2 weeks ago, the pain came back again... a little more severe than last time.
Avatar f tn cysts in both the liver and kidney are normal in the general population. CBD is common bile duct. there is negligible chance for malignant transformation for any of the cysts. Your symptoms are not harmful to the liver. the indication for the colonoscopy may be age alone.
Avatar f tn Thanks for the reply. I will definitely mention the parathyroid when I have the ultrasound done on Friday. I've actually been to an endocrinologist, urologist and nephrologist and none of them can figure out why I've passed at least 12 kidney stones in the last 4 years and still have "numerous" stones in each kidney. Anytime I mention parathyroid, they all say that couldn't be it since my calcium is normal. I don't know how to get them to investigate it more thoroughly.

An x ray called an intravenous pyelogram can help confirm the diagnosis. No treatment can get rid of cysts in the affected kidneys. In a person who has MSK, treatment mainly focuses on curing existing infection, removing any stones if present and preventing future urine infection and stone formation.
Avatar n tn i have seen several specialists(a urologist, and a gi specializing in the liver)..had another ct scan done (with contrast) and found out i had a liver cyst,kidney cysts and ovarian cysts..i have a cystoscopy and an endoscopy scheduled and intend to see my gynocologist as well..my back became worse..moving up to middle back..but i now know my limitations and have it mostly under control...knock on wood..lol..my belly is still uncomfortable...bloated and full...
Avatar m tn Therapy for kidney stones depends on the size of the stone and the location. Simple kidney cysts are usually incidental findings. They more common as people age. An estimated 25 percent of people 40 years of age and 50 percent of people 50 years of age have simple kidney cysts. Now, the atypical cyst could also be due to bleeding into a cyst, it need not always be due to malignancy. Further investigations will help differentiate this. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar n tn 60yrs old woman already menopause, history of kidney stones 10 yrs ago no operation was needed because the stones eventually melted with the medicine taken. now had symptom of what looks like light trace of blood in the urine. what is wrong?
Avatar f tn i recently had a ultra sound scan which showed my kidney was normal however although it looks normal my bloodwork isn,t,so i am seeing a nephrologist on monday if i,m honest i,m praying that my only kidney is packing up because i really can,t take anymore,my husband of 25yrs left me because he couldn,t take anymore of my infections and frequent hospital stays, Many times i have had symptoms like yours and each time i have been told many many times it wasen,t my kidney, i,m afraid that is a load
Avatar f tn I had severe pain in my right side, was constipated, and nauseas. This particular time they found kidney stones, which passed. (I had an Xray, an ultrasound, and xray with dye). In July of 2007 I had another severe attack and was hospitalized with an infection for a week. It hurt so much that I could barely talk. They found another kidney stone and I was scheduled to have it removed in September. I had several more infections/ attacks between July and Sept.
Avatar f tn Your test results indicate that you have polycystic kidney disease and that the cyst is too large. The stones are not big, but because your kidneys have cysts, your stones, you should pay attention to them, avoid strenuous activities, and walk less in people.
Avatar n tn I was told Females of my age do not tend to suffer with kidney cysts alot. But I am seeing more and more cases of it online and thinking it cant be so rare after all. Hope your daughter gets sorted.
Avatar f tn have polycystic left kidney, 2 kidney stones in right kidney, ovarian cyst, cyst on cervix, stip of endrometriosis in uterus, mild asymmetry pituitary adnoma, solid mass on left lobe of thyroid, and septated cyst on right lobe of thyroid. Nothing has been biopsyed or treated for any of these conditions. What should i do?
Avatar n tn ve had kidney problems for years (kidney-stones), and my urologist surmised that 19 years worth of x-rays, CT-scans, procedures, trauma, etc, did the trick. Exposing the kidney to a lifetime of crappiness, radiation, 200+ stone removal procedures, blah,blah, blah... my poor kidney subsequently became "cystified" (I made that word up... you like?!?). My urologist performed a "Renal Cyst Decortication". Think of a cyst kind of like a blister.
Avatar m tn The common cause is obstruction of tubules or deficiency of blood supply to the kidneys. Treatment is not needed for simple kidney cysts and then should be monitored with periodic ultrasounds. Symptomatic kidney cysts can be treated by sclerotherapy. If the cyst is large, surgery may be needed. Joint pains can be due to rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, gout or any other condition. A complete medical evaluation is necessary for correct diagnosis and management.
Avatar m tn It wouldn't hurt to take a pumpkin seed oil supplement. It may help you not have kidney stones and help your kidney.
