Does anyone have mild kidney stone flank pain with occasional blood in urine? I’ve had a CT scan that diagnosed me with multiple nonobstructing stones (measuring up to 4mm) on both sides. The pain is mild so it confuses me on why there would be visible blood. I’ve also had a cystoscopy and urine cytology, both negative. This has been going on for 5 months and I feel so defeated. submitted by /u/Plenty_File_3972 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

came to er last night around 2pm for urethra opening pain and pelvic pain along with uncontrollable shaking, vomitting, fever, pale skin etc. they told me they actually found three stones in right ureter (i only thought i had one 6mm). they told me the kidney is infected, swollen, and not functioning fully so they're admitting me for a stent. i was hoping for the one that breaks the stones up for me but they told me stent and im worried about it. i'm 19F by the way so this is my first big medical thing happening and im nervous. submitted by /u/maniac3223 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Last night around 8, I started having weird abdominal discomfort. Felt like menstrual cramps, but I had a hysterectomy 7 years ago. Then I thought maybe I just need to ?. Tried to go, a little gas, that's it. Increasing discomfort and starting to get painful. Noticing it mostly on my left side and then my back started hurting. When I got up to try and potty again, I got really nauseous. When it was time for bed, I made it to my room and I had cold sweats and a lot more pain. Really bad pain in lower abdomen and lower back on left side. I thought it could have been an ovarian cyst, but th ..read more

Just had my stent pulled out via cystoscopy today after having it for 6 days, and the procedure was (thankfully) smooth. No real spasms or bladder pain. However, now it’s been 8hrs and I’m getting a different sort of stabby pain in the affected kidney. It comes and goes but feels like a tiny creature with a tiny knife is hiyah-ing in there. Is this normal? Or should I be concerned? submitted by /u/Babsthewonderful [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

So i know retrograde ejaculation and lowered drive is a thing with the drug, but does flomax/tamsulosin cause erectile dysfunction? And if it does, is it reversible once you stop taking the drugs? Please share your experiences. submitted by /u/timtamattack [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Just got home from urgent care - been in agony all weekend so asked for a KUB X-ray (since mine are radio-opaque). A nasty stone in my left ureter hanging out little bit above the bladder.
