Where does kidney stone hurt in men?

Kidney stones in men are mainly dominated by pain in the waist. The nature of the pain depends on the size of the stone and the state of stone obstruction. The pain caused by kidney stones is usually severe waist pain, which is characterized by renal colic. This kind of pain is often severe and intolerable. At the same time, nausea, vomiting, frequent urination and urgency, inability to hold back urination, painful urination, hematuria and other symptoms may occur.

Kidney stones are a common disease of the genitourinary system and are frequently encountered. Men are more likely to suffer from the disease than women, and they mostly occur in young people. There is no significant difference in the prevalence between the two sides. 40% to 75% of kidney stone patients have varying degrees of low back pain. The stone is very large and does not move very much. It is mainly manifested as pain and discomfort in the waist, or a dull ache or pain when the body moves more. Severe pain caused by smaller stones often occurs suddenly and sharply, like a stabbing pain in the waist and abdomen, and occurs in bursts.

Most patients with kidney stones have no symptoms unless the kidney stones fall from the kidneys into the urethra and block the urine in the urethra. Common symptoms include waist and abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, restlessness, abdominal distension, hematuria, etc. If combined with a urinary tract infection, chills and fever may also occur. Subacute renal colic often causes patients unbearable pain.

Sometimes the patient feels no pain and only has hematuria or very few blood streaks that cannot be seen by the human eye. Most routine physical examinations include a urine test, and a microscope is used to examine the residue after urinary filtration. If an excess number of red blood cells is seen, it indicates hematuria, and sometimes it is an early sign of kidney stones.
