Does passing urine cause pain when having kidney stones?

Urination generally refers to the act of voiding urine. Under normal circumstances, whether patients with kidney stones will experience pain during urination depends on specific conditions.

1. No pain If the patient's kidney stones are small and do not block the ureter, there may be no obvious symptoms of discomfort. In this case, the patient can appropriately increase water intake to promote metabolism and help excrete small stones from the body. Additionally, the patient can also follow the doctor's instructions and use medications such as "Paishi Granules" or "Niaoshi Tong Pill" for treatment.

2. Painful conditions

a. Large kidney stones: If the patient's kidney stones are large, they may stimulate the kidney area, causing symptoms such as soreness, pain in the waist, and even bloody urine. The patient is recommended to undergo treatments such as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy or percutaneous nephrolithotomy if necessary.

b. Blockage of the ureter: If the kidney stones are large and block the ureter, symptoms such as difficulty in urination and painful urination may occur. In such cases, the patient can take pain-relieving medications like "Ibuprofen Capsules" or "Diclofenac Sodium Sustained-Release Tablets" under the doctor's guidance. If the condition is severe, the patient should promptly seek surgical treatment at a reputable hospital's urology department, such as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy or open surgery.

In daily life, patients should maintain a healthy diet, consuming light and easy-to-digest foods such as millet porridge and vegetable soup. Additionally, they should maintain regular sleep patterns, ensuring adequate sleep and avoiding staying up late for extended periods.
