Patient's question:
Last month, I went for a thorough check-up because I always felt lower back pain. After getting X-rays done at the hospital, I found out it was kidney stones. However, when the doctor asked me, I didn't feel any pain. Usually, kidney stones should be very painful. Is it a problem if I have kidney stones but don't feel any pain?Doctor's answer:
Kidney hydronephrosis is basically considered to be caused by stones or lower intestinal obstruction, leading to the aforementioned functional changes. If treatment is needed to correct this, there are several aspects that need to be addressed. The first is through nutritional encouragement. The second aspect is stability, with local blood flow circulation being restored as the foundation. The third aspect is that kidney hydronephrosis would not cause pain without the involvement of secondary nerve transmission, but this also needs to be addressed.
