Hi! I have had several kidney stones before and I feel like I might have another one but not sure?? It started about 4 or 5 days ago with pain when I had to urinate! Now today I am still frequently urinating with a lot of pain before I urinate and now just sitting at work I have severe pain in my abdomen going to my left side into my lower back!!! I feel hot when in pain and sick in my stomach? What should I do??
HelloPainful urination may be due to many reasons like urinary tract infection(UTI), calculus in genitourinary region etc. Pain doesn't necessarily indicate kidney stones. You need proper clinical examination and routine investigations. Investigations include routine hologram, random blood sugar, renal function test, ultrasound of abdomen, urine RE/ME and culture/sensitivity. Nitrite test and leukocyte esterase test can also be done to confirm UTI. You may need CT scan of PUB region. Proper treatment depend upon findings. You should consult urologist. Get well soon.
