Kidney Stones Symptoms
Initially, a person who
is suffering from kidney stones will not experience any severe
symptoms of the disease. Kidney stone symptoms get severe as
time passes and can turn fatal if neglected for a longer
duration. These stones are hard masses of substances, which
may include the foreign substances, as well as those from the
body itself as dead tissues.
Until the size of these
stones is small, they do not create any problems. However, if
they grow in size and start blocking the passage of the
substances through the kidneys. Therefore kidney stones give
rise to some problems, which may be either simple or they can
be very serious too.
However, in the initial
stages the kidney stones do not show any symptoms. On the
other hand, the symptoms may be very mild or only one of them
may occur. If just one of the kidney stones symptoms appears,
the people do not take it too seriously. Some other reasons
are accounted for it. However, when some of the other symptoms
too, start appearing then the people become aware of that
something is wrong with them.
Due to the occurrence
of the kidney stones, the patients feel pain in the abdomen.
This is the most common kidney stones symptom. Generally, this
pain begins from a mild one and it goes on increasing as the
stone may grow in size.
The second symptom that
the patient of kidney stone faces is the pain during urination
or the menstruation. This happens if the stone blocks the flow
of the urine form the kidney to the urinary tract. This pain
can be very severe depending on the blockage that the stone
proves to be for the urine. Similar thing happens during the
menstruation. If it becomes very painful then there is a need
of medication.
In addition to the pain
during the urination, other problems with the urine also
occur. One of them is the increase in the frequency of the
urine and in addition to that, it becomes difficult to hold
the urine. Most of the times, this occurs along with the pain
during the urination. Because of this, the problems of the
patients increase.
Some people also
experience coming out of blood with the urine. This happens
due to the harm that the stone may cause to the nearby
tissues. Sometimes due to the same reasons, some other
secretions are also observed in the urine. This changes the
color of the urine. Therefore, the change in the color of the
urine is also a kidney stones symptom.
In addition to the
problems with the urination, the other parts in the pelvic
region i.e. the genital parts also experience pain.
The kidney stone also
causes infections and inflammations in the surrounding region
and therefore these may lead to the other problems too. In
such cases, the patient feels dull and unenergetic. He may
develop nausea. This Nausea and vomiting without any, other
reason is also a symptom of the kidney stones.
In
addition to this, they patients sometimes experience fever and
chills. During this fever the pain in the bones and other
parts of the body also occur. The bones of the back and
abdominal parts are affected. Especially the back pain is a
serious occurrence during the kidney stones. This pain may be
mild in the beginning but in most of the cases, it becomes
very high in the later stages.
