kidney-stones

Avatar n tn Other possibilities are irritable bowel syndrome, hepatitis(inflammation of the liver), kidney stones, pneumonia, musculoskeletal pain, lower rib fracture and malignancy. Irritation of the nerves supplying this area can also cause pain. Irritation can be due to nerve compression or pinching due to any spine related pathology. In females,ovarian pathology can cause such symptoms. You should get an ultrasound right upper abdominal area done to confirm the diagnosis.
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 f tn Had anyone had kidney stones? This is my 3rd child I'm 12+1 weeks.I'm healthy.but in the last 2 weeks I have had 4 kidney stones(on top of being really sick with"morning sickness"). Not kidding it IS worse than having a baby. MY ob said they don't effect the baby at all and pregnant women are more prone to getting them.had any body else had this problem.
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 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 f tn 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.
Avatar f tn How are you? Kidney stone pain is often associated with low back pain and abdominal pain. Kidney stones, especially those in the left kidney, can also cause significant amounts of nausea and even vomiting. As the stone moves further down the ureter toward the bladder, the pain often radiates in the groin and genital areas. In men, the pain may radiate to the scrotum. In women, the pain may radiate to the labia or even the vagina.
Avatar f tn Hi all, I had lithotripsy2 weeks ago wendesday and the dr was able to break up all the stones in my kidney. I had a 10 mm stone in my renal pelvis, multiple stones in the lower portion of the kidney largest of which was 6mm and 3 stones in the ureter largest measuring 4 mm. I had a stent in for a week and in that time passed maybe 5 or 6 tiny little pieces, since the stent was removed Ive counted just 1 tiny piece passed.
5787494 tn?1387148684 With my 1st pregnancy I was having pains in my right kidney all day couldn't tell what the problem was and wasn't peeing blood or anything. Went to the hospital since it wouldn't go away after a couple hours and it turned out to be kidney stones. I've never had them in my life but apparently pregnant women can get a calcium build up and it causes them. If the pain goes on for a long time I'd get it checked just in case.
Avatar f tn They can do Utererscopy or URS on stones still in the kidney... but, kidney stones have to be in the urine collecting part of the kidney, the parenchyma to be removed... other than if stuck in the ureter, bladder, and the junctions from kidney to ureter and the other one. I can't remember all of this. This is an intracorporal procedure... the source to break up the stone is inside the kidney. A utererscope is used with various attachments.
Avatar m tn t know of any health issues except for a couple of kidney stones in the past. I do have pictures I would provide if I knew how. Any help would be appreciated.
Avatar f tn i am 27, i had high protein levels when i was a child and then nothing was wrong with my kidneys until i was pregnant with my daughter and started having kidney stones. From the time i had my first stone in may 2003 i had them every May, no joke. I seriously dreaded May's. Now, i have had 27 stones that i have passed, had to have removed, or have been hospitalized for, ive had 25 catscans since 2005 and now am no longer allowed near a ct machine.
Avatar f tn Have they done a CT Scan to rule out any type of kidney stone problem .. Some stones don't show up on xray, ultrasound but all stones can be detected (big and small) via CT Scan. Just another thought.
Avatar f tn HI I am 31 yr old women I recently had kidney stones a month ago and passed them they think went to er and they were sending it to lab as I was leaving! So I don't know but on and off the pain comes in waves it's like I wanted to die from the pain well Ive called my doc 3 times and he said to change my diet...it's gettin to the point were i can't eat anything fyi I am on a diet where i only eat 100 grams of protien and i drink a gallon 1/2 of water a day...

Avatar f tn ve heard plenty of women say that they had no idea they were in labor and got to the hospital for a routine check and ended up being almost fully dilated. Due to kidney stones and how big my baby is compared to my body my midwife suspects he's going to come a little early, so can you give me some things to look for that will help me know when to go in? I've already been losing my mucus plug and experiencing bh contractions, but when do I absolutely need to call my dr?
Avatar f tn While I was pregnant I had kidney stones and a kidney infection. I ended up having a miscarriage at 8 weeks, and that was 2 weeks ago today. I went to the hospital last night with horrible kidney pain that went through to my abdomen and they did a CT scan and said I had kidney stones, a bladder infection and that the cyst on my ovaries from 4 months ago had grown to about 3.2. What is causing this? And what should I do about it? Are any of these things related? Should I worry about the cyst?
Avatar f tn Well, women are late all the time for a variety of reasons. Things like illness, yes, kidney stones count, stress, weight gain or loss, changes in routine, etc. can all affect things. You could have a simple cyst on your ovaries too which would account for the pains -- most women get those from time to time too and they pass on their own. OR you are just getting cramps prior to your period. If you don't get it soon, check in with your doctor so he/she can measure your hormone levels.
342647 tn?1291107933 I suffer from kidney stones... they suck, but I have a high pain tolerance and opt not to take anything. Yes, they hurt... but if you think about how the pain won't last forever, it helps. And, the stones would have to be pretty large for them to cause kidney damage. Just so you know, most of the time kidney stones resolve themselves. They will break down in the kidneys and most of the time you won't even know you are passing them.
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 m tn Since 1994 I have had over 250 kidney stones. I drink at least a gallon of water each day, am on meds to break up stones, which dont work, on meds for bp which also cuts calcium down in the body, on a low-oxalate diet, low calcium diet, and just found out i have 6 more stones. 1-6mm on left and a 3 mm on left side, and 4 stones with the range of 1-3 mm on the right side. I hurt all the time, urologists thinks im in there for the narcotics, what is someone supposed to do? Hurt?
Avatar f tn Almost like endoscopy procedure but with pictures of pancreas. I dont think its the ovary cyst. A kidney stone can be a possibility. I did have some bad mid flank pain when I passed a tiny stone. It hurt like 2 weeks before i passed it. I would consider getting both things checked Have your stools been normal?
Avatar f tn Hey everyone! I was hospitalized last week for what turned out to be kidney stones and a horrible virus. they ended up doing an MRI while I was there and let me keep the CD from it. I posted a few pics from the MRI of baby and how he is inside me. Check 'em out! I've never seen anything like it!
Avatar f tn I have kidney stones and I'm pretty sure I'm not passing one but my right side is in alot of pain. It tends to happen now around my period. Also starting to get sharp pains in side my vagina. No pain when going pee. Does anyone know what could be wrong with me?
200198 tn?1259887597 they got worse until I ended up with a kidney stone at 24wks, and then 3 more at 33-35wks. Kidney stones are actually not all that rare for pregnant women, especially if you have a higher blood volume than most pregnant women (i.e. twins :) ) because your kidneys are being so overtaxed...apparently mine was caused by an extra large placenta, so I was pumping nearly double the blood and it affected my kidneys...Drink Lots and lots of water....
Avatar f tn m considered high risk due to kidney and gall stones. Taking the prenatal vitamins will cause me to develop large kidney stones because of the calcium in them. Also when your hormone levels raise during pregnancy they speed up the growth of gall stones. At anytime of the pregnancy I can have my kidneys shut down from a kidney stone that is to large to pass and an infection will develop. Also have a gall stone get to large and block off the gall bladder to the pancreas.
