Introduction
In general, patients with kidney stones may experience pain in the upper abdomen, waist, abdomen, urethra, and perineum. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly to avoid delaying treatment. If kidney stones cause obstruction at the neck of the renal calyx, the stone within the renal pelvis shows limited movement, leading to upper abdominal pain in patients. When the stone is located at the junction of the renal pelvis and ureter or within the ureter, it may result in complete obstruction.
Under normal circumstances, patients with kidney stones may experience pain in the upper abdomen, waist, abdomen, urethra, and perineum. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly to avoid delaying treatment. Specific analysis is as follows:
1. Upper Abdomen
If kidney stones cause obstruction at the neck of the renal calyx, the stone within the renal pelvis may shift slightly, leading to upper abdominal pain in patients. When the stone is located at the junction of the renal pelvis and ureter or within the ureter, it may cause complete obstruction, resulting in renal colic.
2. Waist
Kidney stones can obstruct the renal pelvis, irritating the腰部 area and causing waist pain. The pain may manifest as a dull ache, and in severe cases, may be accompanied by fever.
3. Abdomen
As kidney stones move, they may irritate the abdominal area, causing abdominal pain. When the movement of the stone is limited, the pain may be relatively mild.
4. Urethra
If kidney stones descend into the urethra, urethral pain may occur. If the stone moves significantly, severe pain may develop.
5. Perineum
If kidney stones travel along the path of the ureter and radiate to the ipsilateral inguinal region and perineum, perineal pain may result.
If symptoms are severe, patients may, under medical guidance, use medications such as ibuprofen tablets, indomethacin tablets, and lithotripsy granules to help relieve symptoms.
