5 major signs of kidney stones you must never ignore



Kidney stones are a common problem nowadays but experiencing this kind of health issue can be tormenting for both your physical and mental condition. Depending on the severity of pain, it can land you with the worst unbearable experience.

Here are some signs that indicate about kidney stone;


Severe Pain


This is a strong pain you feel around your kidneys. It can move to your sides, lower back and abdominal area. This is the worst pain as it can create an emergency situation for you. It can even lead a person to roll on the ground painfully, considering the extent of pain. 


The pangs of pain can go up to for an hour and it occurs in a short interval but the feeling is very awful. When the stone moves, then the position of pain also shifts along with its intensity.


Vomiting and nausea


Kidney stones can trigger nausea and vomiting in a  person as there is a connected nerve between the gastro tract and kidney so when these nerves are stimulated by stone, then your stomach gets affected.

  You will experience an upset stomach and acid reflux during this time. If this situation stretches for a long time, then you should seek medical help.


Feeling pain while urinating


Do you feel pain while urinating or do you think that you are urinating less than usual? Then it's a warning sign for you that you might have a stone in the kidney.

This pain is the result of a blockage in the ureter which makes it difficult for you to pass urine smoothly.

If you feel a burning sensation or discomfort while passing urine, then don't confuse it with a UTI infection.

Ignoring these signals can put your health at risk, so it's better to consult a urologist.


Fever and chills


Fever and shivering are quite common as it can be the case of flu or any other disease. However, if this problem occurs along with other symptoms of kidney stones, then you shouldn't take it lightly. 

 Fever occurs in this situation including shivering or chills is usually high in temperature.


Urine in blood


Have you noticed blood while urinating? If yes, then it hints toward a kidney stone. It usually happens when a stone moves from the kidney to  the bladder and gets blocked in the ureter, avoiding it can create further problems in your ureter, so your first priority should be to visit the doctor and seek his guidance to get rid of this problem


Cloudy or foul smell in urine


If you sense a bad smell in urine, then it is a sign of infection or pus in the kidney. Whenever we have a stone in the kidney, we feel the urge to urine more than often. However, there will be discomfort while urinating so the bladder won't be emptied properly.


Kidney stones can cause UTI infection and avoiding this issue can trigger serious kidney problems. So it's better to take action before it gets too late.
