• Kidney Stone Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention

• Do you often experience pain in the belly or
  backside? Or is there an urgency of urination
  constantly? These are kidney stone symptoms, and
  they can get worse if you ignore them. Talking
  about size, well, it varies. It can be small as
  an inch fraction or big enough to cross the
  measurement of an inch. In worse cases, some
  stones acquire a tremendous shape that takes up
  your entire Kidney. If you do not drink
  sufficient amount of water, it can also lead to
  kidney stone formation. It happens because
  insufficient water intake enhances the
  concentration of urine. It is hard to notice
  anything abnormal until the kidney stone reaches
  into the ureter. It is a tube that gives urine a
  passage to reach urinary bladder from the Kidney.
  Typically, kidney stones cause severe pain. Most
  of the stones pass automatically without
  any kidney stones treatment.

Common kidney stone symptoms

• Pain in the belly, sides, or back
• One of the kidney stones symptoms includes
  painful end, or pain on either side and the
  stomach. Also called renal colic, the pain of
  kidney stones is often compared to the childbirth
  pain or the pain that one experiences if it gets
  stabbed. It is so intense that it brings around 1
  million people to emergency wards every year.
• Experiencing a burning sensation or pain during
  urination
• Once your stone reaches the bladder and the
  ureter junction, it causes pain while urinating.
  Doctors call this Dysuria. It can be a burning
  sensation or very sharp and stinging in
  intensity. If you are not aware of whether there
  is a kidney stone or not, itll be hard for you
  to recognize the Kidney Stone Symptoms

• Feeling an urgency to go to the bathroom
•  
• Usually, its another sign of having kidney
  stones that are probably moving downward and
  entering the lower region of the urinary tract.
  You may experience a constant urgency to rush to
  the bathroom or feel like going continuously all
  day long. However, this symptom also indicates
  UTI (Urinary Tract Infection).
• Vomiting and Nausea
• Vomiting and nausea are quite familiar with
  people showing kidney stone symptoms. It occurs
  due to the connection of common nerves between
  your GI tract and Kidney. Kidney stones trigger
  nerves of the GI tract and upset the stomach. The
  body also responds to intense pain through
  vomiting and nausea.

Causes of kidney stones

• The size of your kidney stone can be small
  as a tiny sand grain, and it generally passes
  during urination without you ever knowing. But a
  large kidney stone is capable of blocking urine
  flow and cause too much hurting . People claim
  that pain of kidney stones as worse as labor
  pain.
• Insufficient water intake
• If you dont have an ample amount of water
  on regular intervals and sweat a lot too, the
  color of your urine may turn dark, or it would
  turn pale yellow. An ideal amount of daily water
  intake is eight glasses. One should aim to
  achieve this to avoid kidney stones from early
  symptoms.

How to detect kidney stones?

• There are various ways to detect kidney stones,
  including
•  
• X-rays to find stones, but little stones might
  not be visible in an x-ray.
• Ultrasound helps to create clear pictures of the
  insides
• CT scan for in-depth scan and get quick and clear
  inside images for making the diagnosis fast.
•  
• After the completion of diagnosis, the doctor
  will prescribe you to wait for the stone to pass
  on their own if they are tiny in size. In another
  case, if its large and hard to pass through a
  lot of water intake and monitored diet, he may
  remove its crystals or break it up.
