What are the main symptoms of kidney stones

Kidney stones are a common type of kidney disease. In fact, kidney stones are not difficult to detect because their symptoms are relatively obvious, especially the severe pain symptoms they cause. Therefore, when patients find symptoms of kidney stones, they must go to the hospital to see a doctor in time without delay.

1. Renal colic. When the stone appears at the junction of the renal pelvis and ureter or descends into the ureter, there will be a sudden, knife-like pain that is very unbearable. This is renal colic. The pain may radiate from the side of the abdomen or lower back down to the bladder area, vulva, and inner thigh area. Sometimes it is accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and profuse sweating.

2. Gross hematuria. The main cause of gross hematuria is damage to the mucosa, because stones can cause serious damage to the mucosa. Pain and hematuria are more likely to occur when the patient is more active. When you have stones and an infection at the same time, pus cells will appear in your urine. Symptoms such as urinary urgency and pain when urinating may also occur.

3. Symptoms of discomfort throughout the body, such as fever, chills, and aversion to cold . These symptoms are mainly more obvious when there is pus in the kidney or acute pyelonephritis occurs. The body will feel very hot, but is afraid of the cold and will occasionally shiver. When upper urinary tract stones or kidney stones on both sides of the kidney completely block the kidney, anuria symptoms will occur. Therefore, patients can drink more Chinese herbal tea to regulate and expel stones.
