Patient's question:
10 days ago, I had severe lower back pain and went to the hospital for an X-ray. The doctor said there was a very small kidney stone and that surgery was not necessary. They recommended medication, saying it would pass out quickly. I have been taking the medication for about 10 days now. Today, I didn't take any painkillers and noticed that the lower back pain has lessened. Is it possible that the stone has passed? Also, why would such a small stone cause so much pain?Doctor's answer:
Hello, kidney stones are common urinary tract stones. Because the ureters are relatively narrow, effective stones can also cause severe pain. Suggestions: It is recommended to review the B-ultrasound at the hospital to determine whether the stones have been expelled. If there are stones, pay attention to drinking more water and maintaining a regular diet. Wish you health.
