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 f tn I have Sjogren's syndrone and develop kidney stones often and they usually pass on their on. I had one crushed three years ago. I now have one that is so large with smaller ones lodged inbetween it that have blocked of my right kidney (seen in a CT scan today). I do not want to go through the crushing again.....what are other procedures? Would like to be prepared before talking to urologist.
Avatar n tn 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. They have done 3 urine tests for chlamydia and gonnorhea, and all three have been negative.
Avatar n tn I had a confirmed UTI in mid September. 5 days ago (Sat), I began symptoms again---extreme pain while urinating & difficulty emptying my bladder. Next day (Sun), I go to Urgent Care who takes a urine sample & says I have a UTI, gives me Cipro 500mb BID & sends me home. By Mon morning, the burning is unbearable & I see my gynecologist nurse practitioner. She swabs my vagina & takes another urine sample.
Avatar n tn I had a thousand kidney stones last year and they had to be removed through my back. Still, some got stuck in the urethra. If u r unable to pee you should go to the ER.
Avatar m tn I finally broke down and went to ER. They did a CT scan and stated I have bilateral kidney stones. The MD said they were still in my kidneys and had not started their journey yet. I continue to have sharp stabbing periodic pain in my vagina where urethra is. Is it possible I might have another kideny stone stuck in my urethra. I continue to feel like I have to urinate often and sometimes very little comes out.
Avatar m tn stones that small can pass through the urethra usually fine. The pain you are experiencing usually itsn't from the stone itself its usually from renal colic or hydronephrosis or swelling of the kidney/ureter. Its possible they could also be in the bladder.
Avatar m tn hi. i had kidney stones throughout the week and went in and out of hospital until they confirmed i had two stones at the last junction of my tube and 1 still in my kidney. they discharged me on the saturday and the pain had gone alot. i was only experiencing little sharp pains and what feels like lower back pain. when urinating, it sometimes felt burny and uncomfortable. but nothing overly sore. i took the tablets to relax the tube on the saturday and the sunday and never again after.
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 Hi, The swelling in the right ureter could possibly be due to a stone and maybe you have passed just one of them and there may be others lying within the kidney. I’ll suggest consulting a urologist and getting a CT – IVU (Intravenous urography) done in which a dye is injected into the veins and its excretion is scanned with a CT and if there’s any obstruction in the ureter, it can easily be picked up. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
Avatar m tn At first it was only in my side so I thought I had appendicitis. Went to the ER and they said it is possibly stones. They gave me some ibuprofin 800 and told me to drink plenty of water. I have been doing this, but a year later the pain is still there. Sometimes it becomes unbearable and makes me feel sick to my stomach, but I down a gallon or so of water and it goes away only to return later. The pain is getting worst.
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 n tn Seven days ago, I had severe pain in my right kidney and vomiting. It stopped after 2 hours, but I woke up with severe pressure and pain in my pubic bone. That has changed in the last 4 days, so now I have severe pain and pressure in my vaginal like I have the worst yeast infection in history. It hurts more when I stand because it's like gravity worsens the pressure. I'm sitting on a heating pad now.
Avatar f tn Burning micturition is due to urinary tract infection. You have a history of recurrent UTI’s and kidney stones; so burning sensation during micturition and blood in the urine. It can also be due to dislodgement of the kidney stone in the bladder or urethra. Kidney stones and recurrent UTI’s can lead to Pyelonephritis, Cystitis, Urethritis Glomerulonephritis and Urethral ulceration.
Avatar f tn They discovered I had a kidney full if stones, one of which was trapped. They put in a stint, and I had it for 4 months. Then they went in and blasted the stones. I haven't had anymore problems until recently. Ive passed 2 stones in the past month or so, one of them was about 3/4 centimeter. The strange thing is, they haven't been excruciating, like the first time. I didn't even have to take any pain meds and I'm a wuss! Has anyone else had this or know why it's happening?
Avatar m tn Kinda feels like when a kidney stone reaches the urethra but without pain. No other symptoms. Had kidney stones before but nothing else. What can I rule out? What should I get checked for?
Avatar f tn Hello, It is good that the scan has come out clear for any kidney stones. Causes can be divided according to the affected organ and they are Kidney conditions (infection, pyelonephritis, kidney stones, polycystic kidney disease), Bladder conditions (cystitis, bladder polyp, bladder tumor), Urethral conditions (Sexually transmitted diseases, urethral injury, vaginal inflammation), and certain bleeding disorders. It can be due to chronic UTI or vaginitis also.
Avatar m tn Hi there. I'm so sorry you're having these urinary issues. Hematuria AND bilateral hydronephrosis... Not fun for you. Are you experiencing any flank pain? What type of scan did they perform? What medication(s) are you taking? Do you have any other abnormal symptoms? The reason I ask about what kind of scan was used to make the assessment, is that not all types of stones show up on X-rays.
