doctor says tha there is know more way than getting the gall bladder removed. i just read about gall stones cleanse. is it worth it. have anybody of you tried it. these are cholesterol stones and my age is 18. are there any side effects of gall bladder cleanse.
I feel as if I’m going to get a urinary tract infection or as if I already have a minor one. I have started to drink tea especially for this and it is making me actually urinate which is more comfortable than feeling as if I have to go to the bathroom but can’t. I was wondering if it is safe to drink a cranberry extract capsule since I have so much tea in my body? Thank you.
I am 47 years old. My periods have been lighter the past few months but they normally last 7 days. I started my period on February 14 and I am still on my period. It is not heavy bleeding at all. The only medication I am on is Triamtereene/HC TZ 37.85/25 CPBRR for high blood pressure which I have been on for a while. I called my gynegologist and they made me an appointment for March 20th. I called and spoke with the nurse yesterday because I was hoping to come in before the 20th and she said to tell the doctor when I come in on the 20th and he will probably run some blood tests. I bought some Uristat and took that last night just in case it has to do with my urinary tract. I have had 4 kidney stones in the past and each time I have different symptoms. I don’t know if this is a female problem or kidney, bladder problem. I am going on vacation the week of March 11th and I wish that I could find out what is wrong before my vacation.
No similar questions found… I love this place…
my friend’s mom had kidney stones and she said it was cause she took calcium pills. is this true? cause i take calcium pills and i definetly do NOT want any kidney stones.
I was told to cut down on animal protein in order to help prevent kidney stones. My husband seems to have his own notion of what this means and is NOT happy. What do YOU think?
my sister is 31 years old and she has major health problems and the doctor told her that she need to watch her diet and cut out a lot of things that she eats .. she has had kidney stones and they are caused alot because of things she eats now we find her sneaking cereal one of the main things the doctors said not to eat .. ok the question i guess is .. well she has a home and a husband would it be wrong for us to tell her if she dont start doing what she is suppost then she is going to have to move out and go back to her house with her husband..
My Lady Friend is a Single Mother/3 Children with Kidney Stones & accompanying ailments who has seen 2 Doctors in less than a week, yet has been unable to persuade these Doctors to write her a prescription for any Painkillers other than a few Tylenol # 3s while we wait for a barrage of tests that might take a week or more. Her pain is constant & quite severe, and while I do not wish to merely treat the symptoms rather than the cause, I refuse to subject her to continuous agony simply because of her lack of affluence.
I have had 4 c sections after my 3 child I was in and out of the doctors office because I would have these painful cramps and pains in my lower abdomin, I would have 2 or 3 periods a month that lasted about 3 to 4 days each. Each time the doctor could not help me. After about a year I passed a gal-stone(not sure the spelling), but then I had my last child and now it has been 7 months and I am starting to have the period problem again, lately I have this pressure to the back of my head and the top of my neck, it feels as if my neck needs to pop, but doesn’t. I have constant head aches. I am always so tired, no matter how much sleep I get. I feel weak, The other day I was sitting with my baby and I got light headed and it felt like all my breath was getting sucked out of my mouth, i had this heavy feeling in my chest and everything turned white. I then have felt the breath problem a few times since. But I woke up this morning and I have this pain in my left kidney area, it is just becoming duller and duller pain, which is bothersome. If I take a deep breath then I feel a pressure in that area and it’ll pop my lower ribs. I don’t know if these symptoms go all together. But I don’t have insurance to go into the doctor several times to get examined, I’d just like some advice from people who might have had these experiences or know something about them. Thank you everyone.
Has anyone gone through this problem and been diagnosed?
i’ve had half my thumb cut off sewn back but i have not had a kidney stone..
in June, the doctors thought i had a UTI because every time i would wipe after peeing, there would be squiggles of blood on the toilet paper, but i had no pain or any other symptoms. they put me on antibiotics untill the lab results came back. well, they came back negative for a UTI, and i wasn’t seeing any blood anymore. exactly two weeks later, on the 4th of July, my blood was bright red in the morning. it looked like watery blood. the color weakened through the day, turning to an orange color. i went back to the doctors, and still no positive results for UTI, so they sent me to get an ultrasound on my bladder and kidneys. they did not see any stones, but they noticed my left kidney is swollen and said that if i dont have more symptoms, to just wait until after i deliver to see if it just goes back to normal.
anyone else have anything like this?
I had severe kidney pain that started last monday. i went to the er and they told me that i had passed a stone but that i had a cyst on that kidney. when i went to the urologist they told me it was not a cyst that it was where my kidney had been swolllen trying to push the stone out. since then it has slowly been dropping. it is now in my bladder. but i am sick of being in pain. i also have a uti. should i seek a second opinion? is it possible that my stone is stuck in my bladder. i cant continue to suffer this much pain. my doc just keeps telling me that it will pass, it will pass, but i heard that it should not take more than 2-3 days to pass it completely. I asked my doctor to blast it, but as usual he said it will pass on its own.
Thanks everyone for your answers. Just curious as my boyfriend was out of town this past week at a "convention", takes the medication, and developed kidney stones for the first time. Just wondering. Thank you so much!
I’ve been have dull/aching pain on my right side beside my pelvis. Sometimes I get a sharp pain. I also have pain in my lower back. I went to the clinic yesterday and the doctor said it could be my appendix or an ovarian cyst. He told me to go to the emergency so I went.
The ER doctor said that I have a kidney infection and a urinary tract infection. But my blood tests are normal and I have no pain when peeing. Is a kidney/UTI still possible? I’ve been taking antibiotics for 2 days and the pain is still there. Also, I have no fever.
I asked the ER doc if it could be an ovarian cyst because the doctor at the clinic said that’s what it could be. The ER doc said yes he thinks that’s what it is, but I don’t think he was listening to my question at the time. Plus, I didn’t know what an ovarian cyst was so I went home with just some antibiotics.
What should I do now? And what could it be? Please help, I am scared!
I’ve just had a "thing" with Dalmatians for quite a while. Recently I have declared my double major in Fire Science and Emergency Medical Science which has only heightened my interest in adding one to my family. I am currently a 19 year old sophomore currently obtaining my degree(s) I work 24 hour shifts at the local EMS, but have 3 days off after each day worked so I have plenty of time to spend with my dog should I get it. When I am working, my mother (Yes, I do still live with my parents but I am in the process of getting my own house) or my girlfriend have agreed to watch it.
I just want to know about them. I know that a large percentage of them are born deaf, and that they need special diets or they will develop kidney stones easier than any other breed. But what I want to know is, are they territorial? Because I also have a purebred female malamute here and she is very nice and loves everyone. Also, are Dalmatians harder to train than other dogs? Would a Dalmatian be a good choice for a firefighter’s additional family dog? If so, she will have a loving home with a big backyard to run in, my mother is a vet tech so she will have all the medical care she needs, and she will have plenty of love and another playmate to run around with. 
Also, I know this may sound corny but is it difficult to teach them the infamous, stop drop & roll trick?
I was in the ER about 72 hours ago, and they said I had a 3mm kidney stone that was just about in my bladder, as well as a UTI. They gave me a shot of Torodol for the pain, and Bactrim. When I woke up later that morning (about 9) I was able to urinate (which I hadn’t done much of for a week). The pain/spasms in my bladder and back were also improved. Now, 3 days later, I feel 90% better – but no stone in my strainer. I assumed the pain lessened because the stone went into my bladder, but will there be more pain when passing this stone? Or will I be okay from here on out? How long does it take to pass?
i have te gall stones and in pain all day, however i am only 27 not overweight and eat somewhat healty
Does anyone out there with chronic prostatitis ever experience a discomfort or prickly feeling inside the penis? I will occasionally experience a "prickly" feeling inside the penis, closer to the tip than the base, There’s no additional discomfort during urination, but it’s mild to fairly uncomfortable at different times. The tip of the penis is also sometimes very sensitive, but I gather this is more common. These symptoms seem to go away when I’m taking antibiotics (doxycycline, cipro, or zithromax), but they usually come back after a while. I know it’s not STD related or anything, but it’s an unusual phenomenon. Maybe a urinary tract problem related to the prostatitis, or maybe something like a small kidney stone?? Anybody?
i have had quite severe kidney pain every odd day. i have kidney stones as well. its very hot and humid where i live and i try to drink as much water as i can everyday, about 2 litres. but still sometimes i feel pain.
i visited the doc a few weeks ago and he told that i just need to have ample amount of water
well, is there anything else that i can to do along with taking water? the pain is really terrible sometimes.
I don’t have it, my sister does….
6 weeks ago I discovered a small lump size a grain of rice just under the head of the penis. Apparently now it grows, extends and began circling half a head of the penis. Lumps that grow in the form of veins stretching like a worm (a little meandering) with about 2.5 cm in length and diameter of about 2mm.
If massaged a bit chewy, growing under the skin of the penis. When my penis is erect, the veins are more clearly visible. It doesnt feel anything and doestn trouble the penis functions, only its appearance is always a concern now.
I am 33 years of age, has never had sex, but masturbating 2-3 times a week. Had a history of urinary stone disease (kidney problem) and my father had diabetes.
Are these lumps dangerous diseases?
Does it something to do with diabetes?
Does it appear because the effect of masturbation?
How do I remove it?
Thank you so much for an explanation.
This is our second time around. Please help me!
