Kidney Stone
Kidney Stone
A
kidney stone is a hard, pebble-like deposit that forms in the kidney. They are
typically made up of calcium oxalate or calcium phosphate, but can also be
composed of other substances such as uric acid or struvite. Kidney stones can
cause severe pain in the lower back, side, or groin as they pass through the
urinary tract. They can also cause blood in the urine, nausea, and vomiting.
Treatment options include drinking plenty of water to help flush out the
stones, taking pain medication, and in severe cases, surgery may be necessary.
The symptoms of kidney stones can vary
depending on the size and location of the stone. Some common symptoms include
- · Severe pain in the lower back, side, or groin, which may come in waves
- · Blood in the urine (hematuria)
- ·
Nausea
and vomiting
- ·
Frequent
urge to urinate
- ·
Pain
or burning sensation while urinating
- ·
Cloudy,
dark, bloody, or foul-smelling urine
- ·
Chills
and fever if an infection is present
Symptoms
can also be similar to a urinary tract infection, so it is important to see a
doctor if you suspect you have a kidney stone.
If the
kidney stone is large or causing obstruction, it can also lead to severe pain,
vomiting, obstruction in the urinary tract and in some cases, kidney damage.
