According to doctors, the average age of kidney stones is from 20 to 40 years old, in both men and women. Below are 8 signs of kidney stones.

1. Back pain

Pain in the back, hips or abdomen is a very common symptom when you have kidney stones and the pain will gradually increase over time. When a stone gets stuck in the uterus or bladder, it will cause you uncomfortable pain.

2. Go to the toilet regularly

People with kidney stones cannot go to the toilet at once due to pain and burning sensation. That is why in some cases, people with kidney stones often go to the toilet.

3. Blood in urine

Although rare, urine that is pink, brown, or red in color can occur. Stones can damage the kidneys or anywhere in the tract, leading to bleeding.

4. Urine smells

Kidney stones can sometimes lead to urinary tract infections, causing an unpleasant odor when urinating.

5. Vomiting

Most people tend to ignore the initial pain, but increasing pain can cause vomiting. As the pain subsides, the vomiting also decreases, but in cases of persistent vomiting, it can be a sign of kidney failure.

6. Fever and fatigue

Acute kidney injury can lead to fever, swelling in the lower abdomen, and fatigue.

7. Very little urination

On the contrary, when the stone is stuck in the urinary tract, urination becomes difficult, which is also the reason why some people urinate less. For such patients, ultrasound should be performed to detect the stone as early as possible.

8. Burning sensation when urinating

This happens when a stone gets stuck between the urinary tract and bladder, and only a urologist can help you deal with this condition.

To prevent kidney stones, you need to follow a healthy lifestyle: exercise regularly, control your weight and keep your body well hydrated.
