Some of the signs and symptoms of kidneys stones can be obvious however sometimes there can be no signs at all. Making sure you can detect the not so obvious signs early enough means you can then help to solve the problem more quickly.

Symptom 1 – Pain

While pain is a sign for more than just kidney stone symptoms, if the pain is localized in one particular area of the body then you may be able to use this pain as a clue to your trouble. Kidney stone pain hits the lower back to the side where the kidneys are located. Abdominal pain is also the same sign of kidney problems and all pain should be refered to a GP immediately. Males may find that some pain is located in the testicles and the penis.

Symptom 2 – Cramping

With the onset of pain will often come cramping however for some people the pain is truly in the form of a very serious cramp in the abdominal area. Pain and cramping can also occur in the groin region of the body.

Symptom 3 – Nausea and Vomiting

Feeling sick during the experience of pain is another sure sign of kidney stone problems however once again this symptom is similar to many other problems in the body. Nausea and vomiting will generally come with the severe abdominal pain as the kidney stones grow.

Symptom 4 – Bloody Urine

Blood in the urine is one of the other signs of having kidney stone symptoms and is a symptom which can be dangerous to the body. The onset of bloody urine should be dealt with immediately through a doctors consultation since in other medical problems this symptom can be very serious.

Symptom 5 – Discolored Urine

Color changes in the urine that we pass can be a positive sign of a urinary tract infection which is also a common sign of kidney stones. Discoloration or pain while urinating can be further reasons for you to get checked immediately by your local GP. Infection will often cause a fever. The infection may leave the urine cloudy or bloody

Symptom 6 – Urination Problems

Pain while urinating is not something that is natural in the body and can be the symptom of different urinary tract or kidney problems. Sometimes the flow of urine can be difficult or the person may find the urgency in urinating is a common dilemma.

Symptom 7 – No Symptoms

More often than not there can be no signs or symptoms of kidney stones which pass out of our system naturally through the urinary tract. This is not uncommon for many people and is not dangerous because the normal way of removing kidney stones is to pass then out through urinating. Once the stone has been passed out the dangers of kidney stones then become much less. Smaller stones can be passed out without too much pain or fuss however the larger stones will cause extreme pain unless broken down using the latest techniques.
