Avatar m tn Stones that are not removed are also capable of growing even larger, which increases the risk of infection and obstruction of your urinary tract, which then becomes a medical emergency.
Avatar f tn Then hopefully when you stand back up and the fragments sink, some of them pass into the tube to the bladder. After Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy (ESWL) treatment, the kidney stones are often reduced to small particles ranging in size from dust to small gravel. Most of these fragments are passed out of the kidney due to the normal flushing action of the manufacturing of urine.
Avatar f tn I have just had surgery for three Kidney Stones and apparently Lithotripsy has left me with the condition of Costachondritis. My upper right side is very tender and swollen. I look like I'm three months pregnant! I have lots of burps and heartburn, some shortness of breath and constant pian. Sometimes the pain is so bad it cuts my breath off. My doctors have told me that due to having 28 stones now and 10 Lithotripsy procedures, the stomach is aggrivated. Could this be Gallbladder?
Avatar f tn Male, 43, history of kidney stones for 20 years. Last Lithotripsy was performed 3 years ago. Urologist was seen in October 2009 w/xray performed. He was advised he has an 11 mm stone in his left kidney and a smaller one on the right. They had not increased in size since xray October 2008. He had decided to not do another Lithotripsy at this time. He started using an Inversion table mid January for stretching out his back. Since he started using the table he has passed over 40 stones.
Avatar n tn I have a Kidney stone that is still in the kidney. I have a Lithotripsy scheduled for Tuesday. The stone is about 4mm. Should I have the procedure done or let it pass on its own?
Avatar m tn Background is I have a 16 mm stone in my upper right kidney. The Urologist wants to bust it up with lithotripsy and insert the stent in my kidney at the same time for easier passage of the crushed stone particles. The thinks the size of the stone and its fragments without the stent may give problems passing through the kidney, ureter and out the penis. I have had a lithotripsy before (3-years ago) without the Stent. It was a breeze with no pain, complications.
Avatar m tn CT scan in April showed a 7mm stone at the junction of my kidney and ureter. I had lithotripsy on April 30th. It only took the 7mm to a 5mm. Urologists said to drink lots of fluids and let's wait three weeks for it to pass. Well, at the 3 week appointment, he said let's give it another 3 weeks to pass. In the meantime, he started me on flomax. I have been in so much pain the past 6 weeks. It comes and goes.
Avatar m tn Hi, I understand your concern regarding this and kidney stones. Recurring kidney stones is indeed possible especially with your history. Risk factors such as not drinking enough fluids, family history, gender, presence of co-morbid conditions, consuming a high-protein, high-sugar, high-sodium, low-fiber diet diet and even certain types of medications may be contributory. Cutting out calcium from your diet is usually not recommended, unless your intestine absorbs too much dietary calcium.
Avatar f tn i have undergone lithotripsy treatment today for a very large kidney stone. the drugs they give you don't work and you feel like your about to be snapped in half. at one point i had to have gas and air as i was sweating with the pain. whoever says this is not painful is a blatent liar and need to change places with me.i have severe bruising and been vomiting hope this soon subsides.......AHHHH.........
Avatar m tn Has anyone here with kidney stones tried vitamin B6 and magnesium to prevent new stones from forming? I read a study that concluded that taking 50 mg of B6 daily with 300 mg of magnesium oxide (one of the least absorbable forms of magnesium) will prevent future kidney stones. I also read that potassium and B6 does the same. Perhaps the magnesium works because potassium is better absorbed if there is sufficient magnesium.
Avatar n tn Hi, "Nonobstructing stones produce no symptoms or signs apart from hematuria. Stone passage produces renal colic that usually begins as a mild discomfort and progresses to a plateau of extreme severity over 30–60 minutes. If the stone obstructs the uretero-pelvic junction, pain localizes to the flank; as the stone moves down the ureter, pain moves downward and anterior. Stones at the uretero-vesicular junction often cause dysuria and urinary frequency mistaken for infection.
Avatar m tn I have a 14.20 mm stone in my right kidney which was removed by lithotripsy and now as per ultrasound report the kidney is clear and now it is two month since the treatment. But after two months still i have now a different pressure like pain at the right side (back side) due to this pressure i always feel anxiety and tiredness. When i walk or move around there is no pressure (pain) but when i sit or lay down the pressure feeling starts.
2059648 tn?1439766665 Kidney stones are likely to cause blockage to flow and if large enough may compromise kidney function. But they are also likely to increase the chances of infections and can cause pain. Based on the clinical symptoms and the kidney functioning, therapy is planned. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar n tn m not sure which is best, it probably depends on your specific case. I had two surgeries for kidney stones in Feb and my urologist pulled them out but a few of them need to be broken up because of their size and I have an unusually small ureter. I ended up having 11 kidney stones removed. I hope you get your taken care of soon!
Avatar m tn My mother is 50 years old and has a history of kidney stones for more than 10 years. 2 years back, the ultra sound showed no signs of kidney stones. But 1 month back, she again got the pain in the kidney area and the utrasound now showed small right renal calculus and Moderate right hydronephrosis with dilated upper and mid ureter. The doctor asked to get a CT scan for KUB correlation. The CT scan report states that right kidney is bulky and oedematous and Calculus measuring 7.0 X 3.
187666 tn?1331173345 In people who do not pass kidney stone lithotripsy is the treatment of choice. It is indicated for stones 1 cm or less in the kidney and upper ureter. Contact your doctor if the haematuria is persisting. Persistent haematuria can lead to weakness, dizziness and hypotension. A medical evaluation is important. Best wishes and regards!
Avatar m tn yesterday had lithotripsy for second time for stones 18 hours later have discofort in left kidney feeling sickly and have noticed alot of blood in my stool is this normal or should i contact gp
Avatar m tn Later I learned that somehow it is not that easy as we would assume to open the kidney and look for stones inside. Plus 2 weeks after my surgery I was producing stones and sand in my kidney (the only one left). It is too soon for any type of surgery and I would not think you are ready for that.
Avatar f tn Hi all, I'm hoping some of you may have some advice or insight for me. Im a 32 yo otherwise healthy woman with a history of kidney stones, kidney infections and uti's. Ive had stones since the age of 18 and up until about 4 years ago i would only get them once or twice a year and they were always small enough to pass. At 28 i had my first stone that needed lithotripsy. Since then they've become much more frequent. This last 10 mos it has been at its absolute worst though.
Avatar m tn you should do the renal ultrasound, sometimes kidney stones do give pain and other symptoms like nause. you can break stones with lithotripsy, or treat renal lithiasis with traditional Chinese medicine. You think it is wired pain on your right side, that could be the referred pain, or you have ever falled down recently or spend too much time sit on your chair for a long time? Did you ever find blood in your urine?
