Avatar f tn I suffered kidney stones for years until I found out I had an issue with my parathyroids that were creating too much calcium. Ask your doc to check your parathyroid hormone levels ( PHP).
Avatar m tn If gone untreated over a time period such as mine, can stones lead to kidney failure? Any knowledge of this subject would be much appreciated.
Avatar n tn You need to be further evaluted by your urologist to look for any secondary stones or a recurrence of the stones. Get an ultrasound done.

Avatar m tn With your history of kidney stones, the risk of recurrent kidney stones is present. Dietary and medical management are often advised to help prevent recurrence. It is best that you check with your attending physician for proper management. Drinking plenty of fluids is highly recommended. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar n tn I want to know that whether the increased level of creatinine is due to stones or there is the damage to kidney due to some other reasons. Please tell me the chances of my creatinine level to come to normal after complete removal of the stones. The ultra sound and IVP test shows no damage to kidney. please suggest.
Avatar m tn Nigella sativa oil can be taken to get rid of kidney stones. It is very good for you. I take it regularly and I don't get sick.
Avatar f tn I was always told how uncommon it was for a girl my age (first stones were at age 19,I am now 27) to have kidney stones and also plus because I am a woman and women don't tend to get them. I was never ever offered any help even after asking for advice from many doctors on what should I do?? I have had kidney stones at least 3-4 Times a year. But this past month I have passed 10 stones so far and counting. Each time at the ER I am prescribed pain meds and anti nausea pills and sent home.
Avatar f tn They can be caused by any type of thing that blocks the flow of urine in the urinary tract which can be in your urethra, bladder or kidney. Kidney stones, for example. Kidney disease. Anatomy that is unusually shaped. You could have a genetic predisposition. Men should also have their prostate checked if they have chronic UTI's as that is a common cause of this recurrence. Not sure why anyone would opt to not treat a UTI since they are uncomfortable.
Avatar n tn I had a stent placed then removed in my vagina for kidney stones. Now I have alot of pain, itching and pressure in my vagina and pelvis area. Why?
Avatar n tn We did a sonogram and cat scan and found several nonobstructing stones in both kidneys plus 2 ovarian cycts. Going to a pediatric kidney dr tomorrow any thoughts?
Avatar n tn the stent was removed about a month and a half ago(mid November) im still feeling some pain in my lower back where the kidney is and im worried that the stones might be coming back is that possible?everyone is telling me that bec the stent was in there for so long the (urethtra?)the body is going back to normal.also that the change in weather(its snowing on NY)could be the cause of my pain.on a scale of 1 to 10 the pain is a 4.please help?
Avatar m tn I have passed 4 over the past 10 years (all have been small enough to pass on their own) and a recent CAT scan shows I have 3 or 4 more small stones in the kidney. Last week I went from a 0 pain level up to a 8 or 9 all of a sudden in the right testicle. My right testicle swelled up and I ended up on my back with an ice pack the rest of the night. I take Aleve every 12 hours to try to keep inflammation down but that only does so much.
Avatar m tn s all connected to the kidney stones since I just happen to have had the kidney stone pain not long after the onset of these symptoms. What suprises me, is that because I'm Lactose intolerant, I can't see how I can be taking in much calcium anyway, since my milk costs 250% of the price of regular milk.
Avatar m tn Reduced urinary stream can occur with ureteral stones or urethral stricture. As you already have the history of stones in the kidney or ureter, there is a chance of recurrence. Get an ultrasound done and consult a urologist for further assistance. All the best.
Avatar n tn I forgot one thing to tell u--my kidney is normal--but I have multiple stones in gall bladder--moreover I habe unicular kidney[conginital]--thanks Veena for ur so nice reply--may be we can be friends--Mayur
Avatar f tn t find a reason for the pain. I eventually had a C.T scan which showed that I had several kidney stones in both kidneys and one in my tube. I had a stent fitted to help the stone move, but that gave me a lot of pain too. Anyway, to cut a long story short I have been in severe pain for two and half years now, so bad that I can't work (I used to run a pub). I've had several procedures in that time (stents, lithotripsy, extractions) but I just keep making stones and passing them.
Avatar m tn s harboring gonorrhea in his prostate. A number of men, particularly as they age, have prostate stones. The stones calcify in the prostate and they become nasty reservoirs of bacterias. They become troublesome because antibiotics have a difficult time penetrating the prostate, let along solidified calcium. Since he's already dealing with NGU, this might explain something. What antibiotics is he taking? Secondly, you might wanna have him get an ultrasound of his prostate. If he has stones..
Avatar m tn In the last month I had to go to the ER for kidney stones. After taking a CAT scan it showed that I have several stones still in my kidneys. I have an appointment with a kidney doctor who is a stone specialist according to my uroligist. However the appointment isn't until April. So i am sitting here hoping not to have another problem until then. Anyone had the same problem as me. As for my stones most are very small (2 mm).
Avatar f tn The biggest problem with kidney stones is inducing labor since your body is in distress I have a history of them and my ob told Mr if I feel like I'm having kidney pain to go to the hospital right away just to be safe they will usually keep you over night and make sure you pass them they don't directly affect the baby
Avatar f tn Rhe pain was worse then labor I swear. Have any of you ladies had kidney stones during this pregnancy? Im due nov 28th and im already dealing with all the pain that comes along with pregnancy and I cant go through that again.
Avatar f tn Has anyone had kidney stones during your pregnancy and what did the pain feel like. I went to the hospital earlier and was sent home and told I was just experiencing round lig pain but I'm a bit skeptical of that verdict because it lasted for hours and the pain was so intense. I didn't test positive for a uti either but idk what to think. I dont have bloody urine but i swear i peed out something resembling a small pebble earlier too.
Avatar f tn This past friday at 1:20am I was rushed to the ER from sudden back pain that was unbearable I was so scared for my baby.. Came to the conclusion it's kidney stones and I became more terrified because there's not many pain killers they could give me other than tylenol and morphine, so about the last one I asked if it was ok for my baby, first they said not sure!!
