How large are the renal and ureteral stones?As stated above, shockwave lithotripsy appears to be the intervention of choice.

Did he chk for kidney stones? I too had blood in urine. Had a CT scan done & cystoscopy. Make sure they rule out kidney stones. You can have pain in your lower back to pain in your pelvis area as the kidney stone passes through the uretha, if the kidney stone is sharp it will cause blood in urine as its passing & it can take up to 6mths for one to pass. HTH's & you feel better!

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. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

Your most recent scans differ somewhat in the size measurement of the left kidney cyst, but I suspect that this is not significant. You have several small kidney stones that are not causing any blockage. Looking at the comment about lithotripsy, I assume that you had a left lithotripsy and have a small hematoma (bruise) in the kidney. This is not uncommon and will resolve on it's own.

also calcium oxylate was in my urine, what i believe are kidney stones, could they have caused the infection and the blockage of urine?

I was recently inputted in the hospital for kidney stones. Has anyone else experienced this before? The only was I can recall getting them after reading on themare from my prentals after reading my discharge papers.

A referral to a kidney doctor or nephrologist may help. Treatment for MSK involves managing UTIs, removing kidney stones, and preventing recurrent infections and stones. Take care and do keep us posted.

My husband started having problems with kidney stones about 3 wks ago. He has had them before, so we knew what to expect. About a wk ago, he was still hurting and peeing blood, even though ct scan showed all stones were gone. They ran a scope up his urethra, and he had a stone stuck. Dr said just drink water, and it will dislodge. We are not sure if the stone has dislodged or not, but now he is peeing blood, pus is leaking from his urethra, his testicals hurt, and his kidneys hurt.

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.

Hi Tee, Welcome to the Pain Management Forum. I am very sorry to hear about your untreated pain. If you have kidney stones and they are not moving you should not have significant pain.However if you do not have kidney stones that are moving or partially blocking the passage of urine you need to have your pain diagnosed. I have a long history of stones and know how very extreme the pain can be. My heart goes out to you and anyone who passes kidney stones.

Is it normal for stones stuck in the kidney to cause so much pain?? Could the fact that I have pkd be making the pain from these stones worse...I guess I'll be headed back to er if pain doesn't let up before I run out of the few pills I have until I see my urologist. Any advice or knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

I am a 23 year old male with 1 kidney. 4 weeks ago in the emerjency room the doctor put me urinary stent becouse of infection and stones in my uretra. Now I finished takink medication they recomended me. Ther is no more infection in my urine. I vant to remove the stent and the stones, becouse it hurts me too much, and I cant take animore. But the doctor said thad I need 2 more monts the stent to be inside me. Why? I cant wait, I have too much pain.

I think you need further examination to diagnosis, such as kidney B ultrasonic. You asked about the relationship between kidney stones and urinary tract infections. In fact, the formation of kidney stones and urinary great links, in the continuous development of kidney stones, it is prone to urinary tract infections. If fever, back pain, pus in urine appears, it could be urinary tract infection.

I have 2, 2mm sized stones 5 cm away from my bladder. Two nights ago I had horrendous pain, frequency and vomiting, which lasted for about 7 hours. My question is, could the stone(s) have passed without me seeing them, even though I am checking for them after each visit to the loo! Also, I know they are painful when passing through the ureter, is it possible that I wouldn't feel them when they leave the urethra?

If it feels even similar to kidney stones, you need to get checked for that since you have a history of it. If the pain is not in your low back, then its not std related. Your kidneys are up higher.

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.

About three weeks ago I started to have some painful urination. I quickly noticed i was passing small seed like things in my urine. This happen once before last december and I went to tge ER. They didnt find any blood in my urine and discharged me without doing anything else. Those went away after a few days. This times they didnt going away so i went to my uni doc. She did a check for for sti's(which wasnt a concern).

The result of the test was negative, no signs of stones, but there was trace of blood on my urine. My doctor had me go to my Urology doctor and again there was signs of trace of blood on 2 visits. Last thursday he had me do the urine test again and found moderate blood, meaning stronger signs of blood, please note that i do not see the blood. I urinate find and does not hurt. But i still feel the un-comfort pain on my back.

Hi rayy i am not a doctor but have recently spent alot of time in a urology deparment of a hospital where i seen numerouse amounts of people get kideny stones removed.

http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/kidney-stones/basics/risk-factors/con-20024829 This has helpful medical information that your doctor would be able to understand and discuss with you about more uncommon causes: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/239278-overview. Its important to remember that kidney stones are not uncommon and are easily treatable if followed up on. The other conditions are clinically rare.

If you also suffer with reoccurring kidney pain whether you are passing stones or not...please respond as I am relieved to know I am not the only one. Beginning to think that I would never find someone that can identify with me. I would like to exchange information with another woman that has been experincing similiar symptoms. Thanks for your time in advance.

the other with typical horrible pain. My dad had many stones so there is family history concerning stones. Until this stone found on CT a few yrs ago I haven't had another one. I don't know if I ever passed that stone; it was, thankfully asymptomatic. Last week I had my yearly physical & micro blood was found in the urinalysis. My dr ordered a culture & it is negative for infection.

Most often it is related to urinary tract problems like kidney stones, inflammation of urinary tract, infections of the urinary tract, prostate enlargement, renal vein thrombosis, certain kidney tumors and polycystic kidney disease, blood coagulation disorders and anticoagulants. It does not seem to be related to testicular infections causing orchitis. I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep us posted on how you are doing. Kind regards.
