Does Kidney Stone Cause Delayed Periods?
Hello I'm about a 32 to 33 day cycle, I was to start my period on 2/13 now 7 days late...I've had a dull lower back ace for about 2 weeks now and at night feel a little nauseous, around Jan 25 I went to ER for a kidney stone they have me anitbotics and waited for it to pass also told me I had another in my kidney but nothing yet. I've takenamy pg test and all negative. Would a Kidney stone or the meds be the reason for my delayed period? I've also felt very full in my tummy region any help or suggestions would be great

Hi,
There is no relationship between renal calculii and menorrhagia . Having period delayed upto 15 days is considered normal but other condition (physiological /pathological )cannot be denied .
The symptom you had like LBPain , nausea, urinary symptoms generally occurs in renal calculus .Generally calculus upto 5mm size can come out through urine( as small ureteric dia is5mm)but sometime dia of 7mm have been found to be expelled with lot of pain.
So is it is less than 5mm wait for lithuria otherwise operative (ESWL /PCNL )shoul be done. regarding delayed period wait for 1 more week if still awaited then meet gyne clinic .
Thanks n regards
