Kidney Stone Pain Questions
They hurt so bad, it feels like razor blades, If they are stones should I see a doctor? could it mean I have something more serious? I am only 23, I have passed some really large ones and I am starting to get worried,Today I was in the public restroom and there was people in there with me and I passed 1 and started screaming it was pretty embarassing, What should I do?

Drink at least 100 ounces of liquids EVERY DAY. If you are passing them without much problem you should take some ibuprofen (or whatever you normally take for pain) and continue to pass them. If there is pain that is not controlled with medication, you should see a doctor for help. You should see a urologist because at 23 passing multiple stones like this could a metabolic problem (your body produces too much of a chemical like calcium oxalate or uric acid) and sometime medications can help you to not make more stones. The mainstay of treatment is fluid intake (as above): not only one kind of fluid, different fluids is fine and it does not necessarily HAVE to be water. Also stay away from tea, coffee, colas, dark green leafy vegetables, too much milk, and add citrate to your fluid intake (orange juice, cranberry juice) or take 1000 mg of Vitamin C per day. Try to save some of what you are passing (urinate into a strainer) and take them to the urologist so the stones can be analyzed for contents. Further treatment may include x-rays, medications, surgery, or lithotripsy (sound waves to break up any large stones so they can pass). Good luck!

Some kind of calcifications in your guts… see your doctor for treatment… It’s never pretty seeing a dude screaming while trying to piss.

the only thing it could be are kidney stones. a doctor can give you antibiotics to cure it easily, so best to get yourself an appointment. another tip, eat healthier and drink lots more water casue lacking that is what causes kidney stones. also, drinking lots of water (i suggest at least 8 cups a day) will lessen the pain and help cure you faster, but antibiotics are still a must so be sure to get yourself to a doctor
hope you feel better soon = )

Yes, I would most definitely recommend you going to see a doctor. If you are urinating small objects that are described as stones, there is a problem. I am not here to diagnose you, but I would definitely go seek some help. You could possibly need a lithotripsy, which is a procedure that breaks up kidney stones. Go see a doctor. Hope I helped.

Defiantly stones, drink lots of water and cranberry juice. Stay away from things that contain calcium. But you will need to see a doctor so they can do a scan and see if theres more. They will also give you more advice on how not to get them in the future. But some people will continue to get them anyway.
