The symptoms of female urinary stones are these four

The occurrence of urinary stones in women is related to many factors, disease being one of them. Therefore, it is particularly important to understand the symptoms of urinary stones in women and to achieve early detection and early treatment. So what are the symptoms of urinary stones in women? In fact, there are four symptoms of urinary stones in women, the first of which is pain.

1. Pain symptoms

Most patients present with back pain or abdominal pain. Larger stones often cause dull pain or pain in the affected side of the waist, which is often aggravated after exercise. Smaller stones often cause smooth muscle spasms and colic, which often occurs suddenly and is severe, like a knife cutting, radiating to the lower abdomen, vulva and inner thigh. Sometimes patients have pale complexion, cold sweat, nausea, vomiting, and in severe cases, weak and rapid pulse, and low blood pressure. The pain often occurs in paroxysms, or the pain may suddenly stop or ease due to a certain movement, leaving dull pain in the waist and abdomen.

2. Symptoms of hematuria

Because stones directly damage the mucosa of the kidneys and ureters, microscopic or macroscopic hematuria often occurs after severe pain. The severity of hematuria is related to the degree of damage.

3. Symptoms of pyuria

When kidney and ureteral stones are complicated by infection, pus cells appear in the urine, and clinical symptoms may include high fever and low back pain.

4. Other symptoms

Stone obstruction can cause hydronephrosis and renal insufficiency. Some patients may also experience gastrointestinal symptoms, anemia, etc.

Causes of urinary stones in women

In our lives, there are many causes of urinary stones, and the following are generally the causes of urinary stones.

1. Urinary tract factors

Patients with prostatic hypertrophy have decreased urinary tract patency, increased residual urine volume, and a greater chance of bladder stone formation; congenital ureteral stenosis leads to hydronephrosis, which is prone to stone formation, and at the same time, stone obstruction of the urinary tract accelerates the growth of urethral stones; the vast majority of urethral stones come from stones in the bladder and kidneys.

2. Environmental factors

1. Natural environment

Such as regional differences and climatic conditions. For example, in hot areas, excessive sweating can lead to higher urine concentrations, and the increase in calcium content in water makes urethral stones more likely to form.

2. Social conditions

If you consume too much animal protein in your life, it will lead to an increase in bladder stones, thus forming urinary stones. In some areas, some oxalate fruits and vegetables can also lead to an increase in stones.

3. Individual factors

1. Genetic factors

Some autosomal inherited renal tubular dysfunction and congenital enzyme deficiency are genetic diseases that are closely related to stone formation. The incidence of stone disease in the families of patients with stone disease is higher than that in the families of patients without stone disease.

2. Disease

Some diseases such as hyperthyroidism, hypercortisolism, long-term bed rest, osteolytic bone tumors, etc. may induce the formation of urethral stones.
