Sometimes it depends on the size if you have a very small one (some can be microscopic) then you'll just pee it out. However if you have a larger one, for example, mine was 6mm(size of a popcorn kernel) you definitely feel it.
It would feel like a sharp needle or a pain and you wouldn't be able to pee usually. It is because it is like one-half of a pea trying to fit through a tube the size of a needle.
It is not likely that a 9mm kidney stone is going to be passed without assistance.
10 mm
ESWL is used when a kidney stone is too large to pass on its own, or when a stone becomes stuck in a ureter (a tube which carries urine from the kidney to the bladder) and will not pass.
A kidney stone.
1. That body part has pain sensing nerves. 2. The kidney stone pushes on the nerves.
If they are not bothering you at the time then by all means have a good time, it wont make them any worse.
A normal person will not ever pass a kidney stone. Forming or passing kidney stones is not a normal process.
I would recommend talking to a urologist. Urologists can destroy kidney stones using radiation.
In some patients a 4mm kidney stone may not need lithotripsy, however, for some patients this may be too large to pass without assistance.
No. There is no connection between the bladder and the esophagus. The only way to "pass" a kidney stone is through the urinary system, when urinating- and it is commonly quite painful.
Yes, a patient with multiple stones may pass them hours, days or weeks apart.
Just really bad pain. It might hurt so bad you have to go to the emergency room. It's very painful.
