Overview
The symptoms of kidney stones often get worse with time. Can you detect them early on? Yes. But many individuals report that they don’t experience the symptoms until the later stages. You will likely experience the symptoms when it’s causing a blockage in one of the tracts or moving inside the kidneys.
What are the Symptoms of Kidney Stones?
You will start witnessing the symptoms when the kidney stone (irrespective of its size) is either logged into a renal tract or vigorously moving inside the kidney.
Some of the most prominent symptoms include:
- Sharp, shooting pain in the back and side or right below the ribs
- A recurring pain that comes in waves
- Pain that descends towards the groin region
- Burning sensation while urination
- Cloudy or bad-smelling urine
- Red or brown-colored urine discharge
- Frequent urge to urinate
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Fever
- Chills
Paying attention to the early symptoms is crucial if you don’t want things to get out of hand.
