Stones in Urinary Tract - Management & Prevention - Symptoms

Medically Reviewed by Dr. Sunil Shroff, MBBS, MS, FRCS (UK), D. Urol (Lond) on Jul 28, 2021


Symptoms

Kidney stones often produce severe symptoms, the most common being colicky pain in the lower side or back, groin, and/or abdomen.


Occasionally stones do not cause any pain and these are known as 'silent stones'. These are usually the smooth-surfaced phosphate stones. Oxalate stones are spiky and tends to cause more irritation to the urinary passage while they migrate downward. Infective stones cause recurrent symptoms of urinary tract infection.

Small uric acid stones may be passed out as crystals in the urine.
