Most patients with urinary stones are free of symptoms until a stone gets lodged in the calyces of the kidney or along the urinary tract, triggering acute pain



The most typical symptom is fluctuating pain, which can be excruciating. Many types of renal stones, particularly phosphate stones, are asymptomatic or ‘silent’, unless they accompany an infection or an obstruction. In most cases flow of urine is blocked and there is back pain or pain along the sides, just below the ribs.

Most patients complain of fixed, intermittent dull pain in the loins, or in region of the kidneys, which is aggravated by movement and gets better while resting. Severe pain occurs if the stone gets lodged in the ureter. Pain may increase steadily and peak in a few minutes radiating to the flanks, testis or labium.

Other symptoms are:

Profuse sweating and pallor occur with pain, at times

Nausea and vomiting

Chills and fevers

Blood tinged or cloudy urine

Foul smelling urine

Constant urge to urinate

Recurrent urinary infection.
