What are the more obvious symptoms of kidney stones in men?

The incidence of kidney stones has been increasing in recent years, which is mainly related to the patient's living habits and eating habits. If you do not drink enough water, the incidence of kidney stones will increase. Common symptoms of kidney stones include renal colic.

Symptoms of kidney stones in men:

1. The clinical manifestations of male kidney stones are determined by the cause, composition, size, number, location, activity, obstruction and infection of the stones, and the degree of pathological damage to the renal parenchyma. Mild cases may be completely symptom-free, while severe cases may lead to anuria, renal failure, toxic shock, and death;

2. When the stone is stuck at the junction of the renal pelvis and ureter or descends in the ureter, renal colic may occur, which is a sudden onset of paroxysmal knife-like pain. The pain is severe and unbearable, and the patient is restless. The pain radiates from the waist or side abdomen downward to the bladder area, the vulva and the inner thigh, and sometimes there is sweating, nausea and vomiting;

3. Because the stones cause serious damage to the mucosa, there is often visible hematuria. Pain and hematuria are often triggered when the patient is active. When the stones are complicated by infection, pus cells appear in the urine, and there are symptoms of frequent urination and painful urination;

4. When acute pyelonephritis or renal effusion occurs, systemic symptoms such as fever, chills, and shivering may occur. When bilateral upper urinary tract stones or kidney stones completely block the urinary tract, anuria may occur.
