Avatar n tn Hello, Although there are kidney stones as calcium stones but Drinking milk does not cause kidney stones. Hence your mother can take dairy products under her doctor’s guidance. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. Treatment can be started only when the diagnosis is confirmed. I sincerely hope that helps.
Avatar m tn 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).
Avatar m tn Hi there. Most kidney stones less than 6mm in size can be treated conservatively. If pain, nausea and vomiting can be controlled, most of these stones will pass spontaneously. one must be well hydrated while trying to pass stone. Pain can be controlled with NSAIDs and narcotics on prescription if the pain is very distressing. the stone can be kept track of for weeks to months if there is no significant obstruction and if nausea and vomiting are tolerable and there is no active infection.
Avatar n tn I have had half a dozen kidney stones in the last year or so. This definitely sounds like it could be a stone. The pain generally happens as the stone goes into the ureter and travels to the bladder. Once in the bladder, it doesn't usually hurt too much but may cause frequent urination, etc. If you don't have anymore pain, i would just strain your urine for awhile and wait to pass the stone. If you have more pain, you can go to the ER and have a scan done.
Avatar f tn I have a male friend who's been dealin w/ kidney stones for about a year quite now. He's on medi-cal in CA & he's not gettin anywhere w/ doctor's. He's been waitin for 1 mo. now for a referral to see a specialist & in the mean time his symptoms seems to be gettin more serious.
Avatar f tn I have a 15 yr. history with kidney stones. I had my most recent attack 3 weeks ago and it was one of the longest enduring of any I've had, with the most severe flank and ureter pain lasting almost 12 hrs. The last couple hours of the horrible pain, I experienced what I would almost call spasms very low down, and I've never had that before in any of the other attacks. I had waves of pain and the urge to urinate every few minutes.
Avatar m tn Hello, Method of treatment of kidney stones depends on the size of stone. A 4 mm stone has an 80% chance of passage spontaneously in the urinary tract while a 5 mm stone has a 20% chance. a stone of 7.7 mm needs other methods of kidney stone treatment. I’ll suggest consulting a urologist for the same and seeking treatment depending on the size of the stone.
Avatar n tn Hello, These can be the symptoms of kidney stones or nephrolithiasis. Kidney stones have pain in loin. Kidney stones are usually associated with decreased frequency of urination. You should go for ultrasound abdomen. Please consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.

Avatar n tn hi brandy, based on your description, you might be having kidney stones. the best way to check that is to have your urine tested. once you have your test results, there might be additional imaging tests like xrays and ultrasounds to measure the size of these stones (if ever there are) keep us posted. good luck!
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with bilateral kidney stones during an ultrasound. Stones are of a calcium variety. Subsequent tests reveal PTH - 138 Serum Ca - 9.3 Urine Calcium 24 hr - 124.8 Vital D 25 (OH) - 10 Please advice if this is primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism or if I need further lab tests to complete the diagnosis.
Avatar f tn There are other types as well ( cystine, struvite , uric) Kidney stones may hold a genetic predisposition. In your case, the presence of kidney formers in the family may explain the onset of kidney stones at an earlier age. It is best to open lines of communication with your physicians. At this point, you may discuss on whether a referral to a pain management specialist may help.Continue following physician's advice regarding diet, fluid intake and exercise.
Avatar f tn It's been three weeks since my diagnosis of having multiple kidney stones on the right side. The Radiologist who gave me my stat results said I would pass them and didnt think straining my urine was something I needed to do. I finally got in to see my urologist he was upset I wasn't straining and wanted me to have surgery since I will be undergoing IVF treatments in March. I agreed because I don't want to deal with flare up while pregnant.
Avatar n tn I had a KUB x-ray done, no kidney stones. Which I am confused because I had a kidney stone in my left kidney that I know I didn't pass, So what happened to it? I am still waiting on the second cytology report my urologist ordered. Not sure why it is taking so long, it has been over a week.

Avatar f tn Urinary tract infection, stones in the urinary system especially phosphate stones, kidney infection, and bladder infection. Also the possibility of an overactive parathyroid gland should be looked into. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Avatar f tn Jeeze we are like the same with stones ha I had kidney stones with my son then after I had him I would get gall stone attacks and kidney stones again this pregnancy..crazy!
Avatar f tn That's too bad. Can you be more specific for what you have tried so far? Are you working with a doctor? This article has ways to combat kidney stones. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/kidney-stones/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20355759 A 9mm kidney stone is big and those often don't pass on their own. This article gives some ways to remove it from having it surgically removed to using sound waves to break it up to using a scope to remove it, etc.
Avatar f tn Can anyone advise me what to do, I've seen several doctors and had a stack of tests, all they have found is osteoporosis (I'm young), tonnes of kidney stones, blood,protein and white cells almost continuously in my urine, hi cortisol, non specific signs of inflammation, low BP and skipped beats.
Avatar m tn my left kidney shows grade 1 hydrouretreronephosis with 5.0mm sized calculus at left uv junction.what should i do next.
Avatar f tn Kidney stones cause pain because of blockage of flow of urine and pressure build up in the kidney. This is called "hydronephrosis" and it is very unlikely that two CT scans and an US would have missed this diagnosis. I would not assume his pain is from a kidney stone given what information you have reported. Other things, like diverticulitis of the colon, cause pain in the left lower part of the abdomen and should be evaluated.
Avatar m tn calcium oxalate stones, struvite stones, uric acid stones or cystine stones. Potassium citrate is used for the treatment of stones. I would suggest you to get an evaluation done from a urologist to determine the type of stone. Treatment modes include Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithrotripsy (ESWL), uteroscopic stone removal and percutaneoud nephrolithotomy but it depends on the size of the stone.
Avatar m tn I have kidney stones that need to come out. They are over 8mm so waiting for surgery. I have been having pain in the head of my penus that comes about every minute that is very painfull. Is it realated to the kidney stone, or is it something else?
554628 tn?1362777919 Hi, nausea, headache and kidney pain can be related with nephropathy (kidney disorder), urine test and blood urea and creatinine are usually done for diagnosis. Kidney stones do cause similar kind of symptoms; ultrasound is quite diagnostic for stones.
359937 tn?1220983851 In February 08 I had the same pain but with a fever, blood in urine and vomiting, CT-Scan showed some stones in my right kidney. Well I still have the pain off and on but when I went to the ER in March 08 they said that the stones we not severe enough to need treatment. Can kidney stones cause throwing up.
