What are the symptoms of urine stone?

There can be no symptoms when a stone is present. When a stone is blocking the urine passage in the kidney or urinary tubes (ureter), severe pain results in the loin (upper side of the back) region. When the stone is in the urinary bladder, there will be pain at the lower part of belly or tip of the penis or vagina.

Pain when passing urine, blood in urine or even passing small stones or gravel in the urine, can be present. Small babies, unable to express themselves can only scream when they experience the symptoms. When children cry while passing urine or when there is urine infection, it is essential to rule out stone disease in the urinary tract of the child.

Hello! At the age of 14 I had kidney stone in my kidney.People who are suffering I know what they are going through.During this period, our stomach pains a lot which makes us cry. I was admitted in a hospital in India, and was operated.This method was called LAPAROSCOPY. This is a new technique of getting less pain.Hopefully, the operation was successful and I absolutely fine now. This happens due to the less drinking of water. So, to the people who is suffering I would suggest you to have lots of water to a protective action against Kidney Stone. Everyone was shocked that a girl of 14 can have a kidney stone.But, then i got to know, not only adults even children of our age can also have it.So, parents should be careful about their children. Thank You PDB,Calcutta,India.

At the age of 8 months of my son, it was detected he ahd 7 Kidney Stones. He was hospitalised in Govt. Hospital in Goa, India. No doctor was bothered to find the exact cause of the formation of so many stones. All the Stones got dissolved after 6 months. After the discharge, we got a C. T. Scan done on him in a different state. And now we have noticed a great change in his behaviour; he doesn't talk/utter words as he used to do at the age of 8 months. He is now 2 yrs and 4 months.. Could anyone inform and enlighten me as to why he doesn't respond/ talk like other children of his age? Has the radiation of CT Scan affected his behavioral pattern? How should I make him talk/ talkative?...Laxmikant, Goa, India.
