Anyone suffering from kidney stones can search for “a medical clinic near me” on Google to find a doctor. Kidney stones are basically hard collections of small deposits of acid salts and minerals. These are made up of calcium and uric acid and form on the inner side of the kidney surface. They also tend to travel from kidneys to various parts of the urinary tract. When it comes to symptoms of kidney stones, they can cause too much discomfort for the person. Also, the size of the stones vary. While some are small in size, about a fraction of an inch, others can grow certain inches across. Some kidney stones can even grow enough to take up the entire kidney.

  3. Symptom 1. Sharp Pain in Your Back, Belly, or Side Let’s begin with the infamous pain of kidney stones, also known as renal colic. Ask anyone who has to deal with this pain, they will tell you it’s like getting stabbed with a knife. Some even compare it to childbirth. Every year, more than 1 million people go to emergency rooms because of this pain.The pain often begins when the stone travels from the kidney to the ureter. This is the little tube between your bladder and the kidneys. Sometimes the stone can be big enough to plug up the ureter. This results in the flow back of the urine into the kidney, which causes swelling and a lot of pain. The pain usually comes and goes in waves. And as the ureters contract while trying to push the stone out, the pain increases. Each wave of pain can last for a few minutes, and then disappear just to come back again later. You will experience this pain below your ribs, along your back and side. You can even feel the pain in your belling and groin area when the stone is moving down through the urinary tract.

  4. Symptom 2. The Sensation of Pain or Burning During Urination Once the stone reaches between the ureter and bladder, you will start experiencing pain or burning sensation when you urinate. This pain is referred to as dysuria. Some people even mistake it for a urinary tract infection. So, it is always advisable to visit your doctor if you experience any pain or burning sensation during urination. Symptom 3. Urgent Need to go Pay attention if you are needing to go to the bathroom more frequently or urgently than usual. This is another sign that tells you about kidney stones. This happens when the stone has reached the lower part of your urinary tract. You may find yourself running to the bathroom to urinate constantly. However, this can also be a sign of a urinary tract infection. To consult your doctor to be on the safer side.
