Patient's question:
I've been waking up frequently at night to urinate recently. When I do, it's not smooth, and it leaks a bit. I'm worried I might have kidney stones. I'd like to know, what are the symptoms and manifestations of urinary tract stones?Doctor's answer:
Hello, urinary stones are also known as kidney stones, which are the most common type of urological disease. Stones in the urinary system are divided into upper urinary tract stones and lower urinary tract stones. Urinary tract stones are related to the location, size, inflammation, and obstruction of the stones. Most patients with stones experience frequent urination, urinary pain, sudden severe lower back pain, which may even extend to the scrotum. In severe cases, hematuria and pyuria may occur.
