My wife picked me up some depends to wear at night but as soon as I put them on I pee in them so here Iam 3am sitting on the toilet with pee just dripping out of my penis is there anything I can do ??
Avatar m tn Please at all costs try to avoid the laser as this will leave much dust and fragments that will than make even more stones. The 5mm can def. be removed the problem is the 7mm. It may be able to drop into the top of the ureter and the can take it out from there. Let me know the location on that 1. PLEASE BEWARE OF THE LITHOTRIPOSY THIS IS THE WOST METHOD BUT SOMETIMES THE ONLY METHOD FOR CERTAIN SONES. You must be in pain with the 5mm??? DRINK DRINK DRINK all the water you can.

Avatar f tn I got my stones for the first time while pregnant. It was miserably painful! I guess I passed it because it settled off and the pain went away. Then when my baby was about 6 months old, I had one move in my other kidney. It was miserable again. After much running, walking, bouncing, and flooding my system with water, I finally passed it right before the urologist got his chance to fish it out! I was sooo relieved!

Avatar m tn I had kidney cancer and my right kidney was removed in Feb 09. Have been in a clinical trial for 13 months taking targeted chemo to ascertain if the drugs will prevent recurrence or prolong recurrence. CT scans reveal a 4mm stone in my remaining kidney. I also have a high serum creatinine level of 1.99 which means my GFR is also bad. Does a kidney stone (that is in the kidney) have any effect on my creatinine level?

Avatar f tn Upon getting cats can it was revealed that my rt kidney was extremely enlarged and full of fluid with calculus stag horn stones measuring over 2inches. At first the plan was to drain the kidney and break up the huge stones. After having a kidney function test, well it was discovered that my rt kidney had no function at all and needed to be removed. It was described as a huge beachball about to explode. I had kidney removed along with gall bladder.

Avatar n tn I recently had a kidney removed. I had a large kidney stone removed and during that surgery the tube was torn when it was dilated. The tube was never the same again and could not be repaired. I asked the urologist if I had any restrictions and all he said was "no, you can live a normal life". I want to know if there are any foods or medications I should stay away from that may have some affect on the kidneys.
Avatar f tn When you have a 5mm stone, it is my understanding as a non physician and just a plain old kidney stone sufferer for 30 plus years, that your kidney with the stone functions normally, unless the stone is blocking the flow of urine from that kidney, in which case that kidney swells up and the pain would be in the kidney with the stone.
Avatar n tn He has had stones removed 4 times and is in the hospital, again.with another infection. This one involves pus in the kidney and surrounding sack. His right kidney, where all of the stones have been, is down to less than 25% output and may have to be removed. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be causing this and what the outcome might be?

Avatar f tn I am having a lithroscopy to break up kidney stones a stent may have to be put in place in order that the stones can pass. I have read and heard how uncomfortable this can be and are there other options to having a stent put in place.
Avatar f tn I had some pain in September 2016 and a diagnosed kidney stone at that time. But the pain didn't really start until January this year. I had severe flank pain on both sides and abdominal pain especially after eating. Was admitted and treated for kidney infection. A few weeks later they found out my Gallbladder was overactive and removed it. Now I just have the flank pain on both sides. It is killing me.
Avatar m tn First off, many of the herbs and supplements suggested for kidney stones, at best, may aid in urine flow to some degree, but there is no plant or vitamin that can MELT kidney stones, because all stones are made with varying amounts of CALCIUM, which cannot be dissolved without risking losing other things made of calcium such as bones and teeth! Only Uric acid stones have the least amount of calcium content and therefore CAN be reduced in size through medication.

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 my husband has just had kidney stones removed - is it normal to have extreme pain when passing urine?
Avatar f tn A stone that size (7mm) can block your urine flow and can cause you other problems if not removed. I know because I had three stones removed last week, one of which was 5mm and was blocking my urine flow, causing my kidney to swell to one and a half times its normal size.
