Kidney stones are becoming increasingly common due to lifestyle changes, poor hydration, and dietary habits. Early detection can help prevent severe pain and complications.
Common Early Symptoms
- Sharp pain in the lower back or side
- Burning sensation during urination
- Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
- Blood in urine (pink or reddish color)
- Frequent urge to urinate
- Nausea or vomiting
Many patients ignore mild pain, assuming it will go away. However, untreated stones can grow in size and block urine flow, leading to infection or kidney damage.
When to See a Urologist
If pain is persistent, increasing, or accompanied by fever, immediate medical attention is necessary. Advanced diagnostic tools like ultrasound and CT scans help in accurate detection.
