Avatar f tn s usually no mistaking the symptoms — kidney stones, especially, can cause excruciating pain. Bladder or kidney stones can also cause both gross and microscopic bleeding. Enlarged prostate. The prostate gland — located just below the bladder and surrounding the top part of the urethra — often begins growing as men approach middle age. When the gland enlarges, it compresses the urethra, partially blocking urine flow.
Avatar m tn m figuring that kidney stones take a while to form and that, if I have kidney stones and possibly an infection, it's likely that I had the kidney stones first and they contributed to the infection, rather that having an infection first that contributed to the kidney stones (sorry if this sounds confusing).
Avatar m tn Urogenital infection means an infection anywhere in the urinary tract or the genital organs (kidney, bladder, prostate, urethra, etc.). When there are kidney stones there is almost always an infection too. (The infection may be the underlying cause of the kidney stones or it may be encouraged by the irritation from the stone(s).) If the area behind your testicles and anus feels tender, you may have prostate inflammation from infection there.
Avatar m tn People who pass blood from the urethra may not experience any other signs or symptoms. Urinary tract infection, kidney stones, enlarged prostate all can lead to blood in urine. It may be possible that you might have burst a blood vessel. If the symptoms are severe and persistent seek the opinion of a doctor. A physical examination and medical history can help diagnose the exact cause. Write to us again. Best luck and regards!
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 f tn The other day i went to use the bathroom and when i urinated it burned pretty bad. I have always had UTI's and Kidney infections plus Kidneys stones on top of many bladder infections but all the doctors do is give me antibiotics and it clears up and when i go back to the doc. i always seem to have them again. in my teens i would have them so much and when the doctors said i had blood in my urine they would ask the famous ?
Avatar m tn Common causes of urinary frequency include conditions such as urinary tract infections, diabetes, increased fluid consumption, urinary stones, prostate disorders, kidney disorders that affect the function of concentrating urine properly, and diseases of the urinary bladder. The most likely condition, based on your symptoms, appears to be prostatitis. It is an inflammation of the prostate gland which may be in response to infection or may be uninfective in origin.
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. For the echogenic mass, further investigations like kidney function tests and CT kidney, urinary bladder should be done.
Avatar m tn If the urine sample that is tested by a laboratory shows no abnormalities, then that would suggest there is no infection. That does not mean that you do not have a problem, especially if you have kidney stones. Kidney stones only cause a problem when they move and by moving, a stone can scratch the lining of the urinary tract, causing blood (sometimes visible), protein and leucocytes. A kidney stone can be as small as a grain of sand, but can still cause problems.
Avatar f tn What I am trying to figure out is why there is still blood in my urine if there is no infection. The doctors said that they think it was just kidney stones because after I left the emergency room it did hurt at the end of me going pee. But if it was kidney stones I feel like they would have shown up on a ct scan and I also feel like the blood would be gone by now since I passed it. If any of you can help me understand this that would be great, Thanks.
Avatar m tn Hello, An ultrasound usually detects a tumor or cancer and if it is coming negative then chances of a testicular tumor are less likely. Get kidney stones ruled out by x-ray or KUB ultrasound (kidney urinary bladder) and also get spermatocele evaluated. Spermatocele is a retention cyst of a tubule and is benign in nature. Usually they are left as such if not causing any symptom, but if they are causing pain, then they have to be removed. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and regards.
Avatar f tn the stones so they can analyze them) is the constituents of the stones. I believe a common kidney stone is made up of calcium oxylate. If your stone has some other makeup, it can be telling as to the cause of your condition. The majority of mine was not calcium oxylate, but the "lead" that gave the docs turned out to be a dead end, so I guess all my efforts to catch that little bugger were for naught. Ah well, at least I got to see my foe!! Sigh.
Avatar m tn It could be kidney stones, have you ever had kidney stones? They are very hard to diagnose, ask your doctor for a KUB in this test, the doctor will look at your kidneys, bladder, and urethra for stones. I highly doubt that you have an STD considering your tests are all negative.
Avatar f tn a urinary tract infection (less common in men than women but still possible), an STD, kidney stones, or even (less frequently) tumors. So, if your problem continues or recurs, you absolutely must see your doctor. You needn't be embarrassed to discuss sexual matters with him/her; believe me, nurses & doctors "have heard it all!" My other bit of advice is that you should explain to your girlfriend why you don't want to have intercourse with her.
Avatar f tn I do have multiple medical problems that being treated, which include kidney stones. My labs are good except my K+, which is low. Do you think that there is any risk in genetic testing and do you think that there is any need to test? hx htn, atypical migraines, complex partial seizures, kidney stones and diarrhea with bx noncaseating granulomas. My mother has had thyroidectomy, noncancerous, rt adrenal adenoma( active) not pheo, high calcium, hot pituitary per my sister.
Avatar n tn I have a long history of kidney stones. Ive passed a fair number of fairly large stones and have also had lithotripsy. My latest CT revealed no large stones, but i still have smaller ones in my kidney. Recently ive also had a severe 'bout' of PE. In years past this has not been an issue for me as I can usually last for a substantial amount of time during intercourse. Right now, I have little control ejaculation after i become erect. Its almost as if soon as i become erect, i ejaculate.
Avatar n tn The most common causes in people younger than 40 years of age are kidney stones or urinary tract infections. While in older people, cancers of the kidney, bladder, and prostate become a more common concern. A urinalysis may help to reach a diagnosis. Are there other signs or symptoms present? Urinary tract infection may present with difficulty or pain in urinating, urinary frequency and urgency. It would be best to see your doctor for proper evaluation and to alleviate your worries.

Do make sure that you do drink plenty of water, about 2 litres (4 pints) is usually recommended. do not drink more than this unless instructed by the doctor or the urologist.

Here are treatment options for kidney stones and remember, you have six of them based on the urologists testing. https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/urologic-diseases/kidney-stones/treatment To be honest, the urologists plan to remove the stones sounds reasonable.
Avatar m tn ) ) He advised me to see a urologist and also that I may have a kidney stone. Kidney stones do run in my family, however, no one in my family has experienced these symptoms when passing a stone. I am making an appointment to see a urologist, however, wanted to ask for help from anyone that could enlighten me as to what this ailment could be. Thank you for reading.
Avatar f tn There is something called prostate stones, or prostate calculi, which are really just tiny little stones that can form in the prostate. Most men get these and have no symptoms, but they can become infected, and give symptoms similar to what you are experiencing. https://www.issm.info/sexual-health-qa/what-are-prostatic-calculi-prostate-stones/ This isn't associated with prostate cancer in any way. It doesn't just go away though.
