Hello Good Afternoon,

As per your description, you have renal calculus (stone) of minimal size and it can cause all the symptoms which you have.

Though it's size is minimal but it is creating problem for you, so you should be managed for that.

So follow the steps:

1. Repeat USG to know the current status calculus and kidney.
2. X-ray KUB for supporting the evidence of calculus position.
3. Intravenous pyelography (IVP) to see the kidney functions and the calculus obstruction.
4. Urine Examination
5. Go for a Surgery (PCNL or DJ stenting) if needed, because you are symptomatic.

Regards,

Dr. Naresh Jain.

Hi, many thanks for the query!
May be these stones have moved out of kidney now into ureter causing pain.
You need to do- USG KUB, X-ray KUB, RFT, CBC, Urine (R/M).
Excessive contractions of the obstructed ureter, to get rid of the stone,
cause pain.
Ca-oxalate stones cause bleeding in urine due to spikes on their surface that cause mechanical trauma to mucosa in urinary tract.
Take antispasmodics, pain killers, diuretics with your doctor's opinion.
Drink plenty of water so that at least 2 litres of urine is voided in 24 hrs.
Wish you a good health.
Take care.
Regards.
