What are the symptoms of urinary stones in women?

When we feel the urge to urinate, we will urinate, so the urethral opening is very important to us. However, there are many reasons in daily life that can cause our urethral opening to be troubled by symptoms and affect our urination function. Among them, urinary stones are a disease that affects the urethral opening. So, what are the symptoms of urinary and reproductive system stones in women?

1. Urethral stones are a disease that can occur in both men and women, but it is relatively more common in men and less common in women. This is related to the shorter urethral opening and fewer bladder stones in women. Women's urethral stones are often combined with urethral diverticula. Regardless of whether it is a combined stone or not, urethral diverticulum is often manifested as a lower urinary tract infection. Pain during sexual intercourse is another prominent symptom. When the purulent secretions are discharged, the symptoms will be temporarily relieved. Upon examination, a hard mass can be felt in the urethral opening area of ​​the anterior wall of the vagina.

2. Generally, patients will experience lower back pain after suffering from urinary stones. If the patient's condition is relatively mild, he will always feel soreness and discomfort in his lower back. However, if the patient's condition is already serious, the pain in the lower back will be more severe, and sometimes it will even feel like a knife stabbing. This kind of pain is unbearable for many patients. It often occurs suddenly, and once it occurs, it will last for more than half an hour before it can subside on its own, which makes many patients suffer. In addition, when patients experience low back pain, they will also experience nausea, retching, and blood in the urine. Sometimes, after urination is completed naturally, the urine will be found to be red. However, for many patients, even if there is blood in the urine, it is invisible to the naked eye and must be discovered under a microscope.

3. Stones cause incomplete obstruction of the urethral opening, the urine flow will become narrow and bifurcated, and symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, inability to hold urine, and dripping urine will continue to occur. Secondary urethral stones, because the stones are suddenly placed in the urethral orifice, often cause sudden urination interruption, with obvious urination sensation and bladder and anal prolapse, and often cause urine retention.

4. Some patients can feel a hard lump and tenderness in the urethral stone part, and the posterior urethral stones can be palpated through rectal digital examination. Multiple stones in the urethral diverticulum can be felt with a stone-like friction sensation.

The above is a detailed introduction to the symptoms of urinary stones in women. Through the introduction, I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of the symptoms of urinary stones in women. Therefore, we should pay more attention to it in daily life. As long as we pay more attention to the changes in our own body, we can detect the symptoms in time.
