Where does kidney stones hurt in men?

The main symptom of kidney stones in men is pain in the waist. The characteristics of the pain are still determined by the size of the stones and the condition of stone obstruction. The pain caused by kidney stones is usually a more severe pain in the waist, which is dominated by the characteristics of renal colic. This kind of pain is usually severe and unbearable. At the same time, there may be symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, frequent urination, urinary urgency, inability to hold urine, urinary pain, hematuria, etc.

Kidney stones are a common disease of the urinary and reproductive system. They are more common in men than in women, and they mostly occur in young people. There is no significant difference in the incidence rate between the two sides. 40% to 75% of patients with kidney stones have different degrees of low back pain. The stones are large and have little mobility. The main symptoms are soreness and discomfort in the waist, or dull pain or dull pain when the body moves more. The severe pain caused by smaller stones often suddenly produces strong pain in the waist and abdomen like a knife, which is intermittent.

Most patients with kidney stones have no symptoms, unless the kidney stones fall from the kidneys into the urethra, causing blockage of urine in the urethra. Common symptoms include cramps in the waist and abdomen, nausea, vomiting, restlessness, bloating, hematuria, etc. If combined with urinary tract infection, chills and fever may also occur. Subacute renal colic often causes unbearable pain to patients.

Sometimes the patient does not feel pain, but only has blood in the urine or very few blood strips that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Most routine physical examinations include urine tests, and use an optical microscope to examine the urine residue after filtering. If too many red blood cells are seen, it means there is hematuria, which is sometimes an early sign of kidney stones.
