Kidney stones causes overweight
Common Questions and Answers about Kidney stones causes overweight
kidney-stones
m a 48 year old male, moderately active, overweight (not obese), with hypertension. I do have a history of kidney stones on the right side, but this does not feel like kidney stone pain and my last KUB x-rays in April were clear of stones.
How unusual is it for the stones to be in this meaty part of my kidney and since they are still in my kidney aren’t they just going to continue to grow larger? Are these stones causing damage to my kidneys? They don’t seem to be causing any blockages based on the ultrasounds that have been done, but I still have had frequent flank pain and blood visible in my urine prior to the surgery. Is there any hope that I will be able to be stone free and prevent more stones?
I say this to you because you are only 17 and you have a chance to avoid all the problems that being overweight causes- heart problems, lung problems, liver, kidney, you name it. Death rates due to obesity are drastically on the rise. Change this while you are young and can still do so!
As for being OCD and taking a lot of medicine- this too is never a good idea. If you get a very bad headache, by all means take a Tylenol or an Advil.
Also it could be due to referred pain of kidney stones. An ultrasound of the lower abdomen will be able to rule out kidney stones. It could be due to cancer of testis. It could be due to varicocele or spermatocele. An ultrasound of the testicles will diagnose cancer, varicocele and spermatocele. An excruciating pain is often due to testicular torsion and needs surgical intervention ASAP to save the testis.
Since then, no problems, no stones, actually this past year I have had a ache in my right back area, pretty much near the kidney area(where my incision is from the surgery).. I have a appointment with my Urologist this month, but I am wondering if its scar tissue? Or is this just a very weak spot for me.. but it aches something awful sometimes.
Causes of blood in urine other than the two causes that have been ruled out include kidney infections, kidney disease, trauma, bladder stones, Interstitial cystitis, tumors, etc.
In men prostatitis can present with all the symptoms described above.
Additional investigations required include blood tests to check for kidney function and a cystoscopy to check for injury to the bladder lining.
Hello,
Since the kindey stone is 7 mm, so the symptoms seem unrelated to the kidney stones. Since you are having pedal or leg edema, hence your cardiac, liver and kidney functions need to be assessed for which I suggest you to consult a physician immediately. Abdominal causes like irritable bowel syndrome can also cause such symptoms. Common symptoms include abdominal cramping or pain, bloating and gassiness, and altered bowel habits(alternate constipation and loose stools).
The size, configuration, and location affect the spontaneous passage of these stones. However, these may recur. There are different of types of kidney stones and calcium oxalate is the most common stone that forms. To prevent them from forming regularly, drink plenty of water and have a proper diet. Take care and best regards.
s a coincident urinary tract infection along with kidney stones, which may be seen in struvite kidney stones. Ultrasound is the safest investigation to figure this out, as there's no radiation involved. If your pain still hasn't gotten any better even after a few weeks I would see your doctor to make the ultrasound urgent, as symptomatic kidney stones left too long can cause problems for your kidneys.
