Jack D. Francis, M.D., F.A.C.S.
Symptoms The patient will frequently have the sudden onset of severe pain in the side which move down to groin, testicle or vagina, or leg, although some stones are painless. The pain may be excruciating, and has been compared to labor pains. Nausea and vomiting may occur as well as fever. There may be blood in the urine . Bloody urine may occur before the pain starts or may be the only sign of a kidney stone. It is common after a severe episode of pain for the pain to subside even though the stone has not passed. This is because of the kidney’s ability to relieve the backpressure caused by the obstructing stone. Frequently, the pain will recur as the stone starts to move again. Commonly, the patient needs to visit the emergency room.
