Many people have bad habits in life, such as drinking coffee, drinking strong tea, eating high-protein foods, sitting for a long time, not exercising, drinking less water, staying up late and so on. These habits can easily cause kidney stones. Many people don't know much about kidney stones. Even if they have symptoms of physical discomfort, they rarely think of kidney stones.
What are the symptoms of kidney stones?
1. Hematuria
Hematuria is a common symptom of kidney stones. Because the stones repeatedly rub the kidneys in the body, bleeding occurs. The blood is discharged from the body with the urine, the color will appear red or brown, and some people will also discharge sand and stones, accompanied by obvious pain. When this happens, we must pay attention to it, go to a regular hospital for examination in time, and achieve early detection and early treatment.
2. Lower back pain
The early symptoms of kidney stones are a dull pain in the waist. Many people think that it is because of their overwork, but it is actually caused by the stones irritating the kidneys. If the lumbar cramps are accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, pale complexion, pain or even dysuria during urination, it is likely that the stone blocks the renal pelvis or ureter. This symptom is more obvious, and the patient can feel it a little bit more carefully.
3. Fever
Kidney stones can easily lead to infections of the kidneys and urinary system, causing fever, usually high fever above 38 degrees. If there are symptoms of backache and backache accompanied by high fever, it is necessary to suspect whether it is caused by kidney stones and seek medical treatment in time. In addition, kidney stones can also produce bacteria. When the stones hinder the excretion of urine, the bacteria will not be excreted in time, which may cause sepsis and endanger life.
4. Urine is hot, muddy, and smelly
When the stone passes through the ureter and bladder, it will cause friction and cause a burning sensation. When the fragments of the stone are discharged from the body, the urine becomes cloudy. This symptom is visible to the naked eye. The strong smell is caused by infection of the urinary system, and it will have a strong smell.
5. Hydronephrosis
Kidney stones can cause hydronephrosis. If the stone blocks the renal pelvis and ureter, the man will have a feeling of poor bowel movements. Some patients with hydronephrosis will not have any physical abnormalities, but if it is allowed to develop, uremia may occur.

While treating kidney stones, do not take a large amount of high-protein, oxalic acid, and purine foods, and reduce the intake of sodium and salt. Excessive sodium salt can form stones.
