10 Kidney Stones Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #9: Dysuria
Dysuria is a medical term that refers to painful or difficult urination. In individuals with kidney stones, once the stone is stuck in the ureter or reaches the junction between bladder and ureter, there can be excruciating pain when the patient tries to urinate. This pain can be described as a sharp and burning pain and can often be mistaken as a urinary tract infection.
Since the flow of pee is partially obstructed, some individuals may only urinate only a small amount every time they go to the bathroom. If you notice that your urinary flow has completely stopped, seek medical attention immediately as this is a medical emergency.
