What causes left side waist pain in men?

If you often feel pain in your left side of the waist, you should pay attention to whether it is caused by kidney stones, because kidney stones can seriously affect the health of many people. It is necessary to make sure to identify these causes and then treat the kidney stone problem scientifically and effectively.

1. Pain is one of the most obvious symptoms of kidney stones. Experts point out that when stones are stuck at the junction of the renal pelvis and ureter or descend in the ureter, renal colic may occur. It is a sudden paroxysmal knife-like pain. The pain is severe and unbearable. The patient is restless. The pain radiates from the waist or side abdomen downward to the bladder area, vulva and inner thigh, and sometimes there is sweating, nausea and vomiting.

2. Since stones flow with urine, they cause local damage and hematuria. Since stones cause serious damage to the mucosa, there is often visible hematuria. Pain and hematuria are often triggered when the patient is active. When stones are complicated by infection, pus cells appear in the urine, and there are symptoms of frequent urination and painful urination.

3. If not treated for a long time, kidney stones will cause urethral obstruction in patients. When acute pyelonephritis or nephrostomy develops, systemic symptoms such as fever, chills, and shivering may occur. Bilateral upper urinary tract stones or complete obstruction by kidney stones may lead to anuria.

4. If you have pain in the lower back that radiates along the thighs and calves and is accompanied by sensory disturbances in the lower limbs (coldness, numbness, etc.), it is most likely lumbar disc herniation!
