Know These Widespread Signs of Kidney StonesJune 29, 2011 by jenny fuller When it comes to kidney stones, the signs and symptoms will differ from one person to the next, but it's a condition you should always take seriously. Some kidney stones are small enough to pass through your body on their own, and you may not even know they exist, while others are larger and more troublesome. Anyone who is susceptible to this condition should be aware of the common symptoms, so we'll be discussing some of these below. Aside from pain, one of the most common symptoms of kidney stones is nausea, a sick feeling in your stomach or vomiting. Of course not every symptom is definitely kidney stones since other conditions can have the same symptoms. In addition to the nausea and vomiting you may experience abdominal pain, groin pain or lower back pain when you have kidney stones. For the nausea you can try an over the counter remedy or you can of course seek out more natural resources like ginger but then you need to also think about treating the kidney stones too to stop the problem in its tracks. If you want to avoid more serious complications you should have your doctor confirm that your symptoms are the result of kidney stones before you try to treat them with over the counter medications. One way to easily recognize the symptoms of kidney stones is if you've already had this problem in the past and know how it affects you. When you're aware of the symptoms because you've had them in the past, you should be extra careful about noticing any evidence that the condition has returned. You may be able to prevent recurrences by paying attention to your diet, keeping your weight under control, getting regular exercise and always drinking plenty of healthy fluids (water, not soda or sugary drinks). Kidney stones can more easily be avoided if you follow these rules, as once you've had this problem you want to do everything you can to prevent it from returning. While women have them less than men, women unfortunately are harder to make an accurate diagnosis for the problem. The symptoms of kidney stones are sometimes mistaken for menstrual pain in women, as the pains can occur in similar regions of the body. Errors with an accurate diagnosis are sometimes due to the presence of an ovarian cyst. This pain is so unusual and extreme that a call to the doctor is necessary, right away. So if you have any of the above symptoms, you should find out from your doctor if kidney stones are responsible. Kidney stones can be a relatively minor annoyance, and in some cases you may have passed them through your system without even knowing about it. You should take any kidney stones seriously, though, as if you don't make the necessary changes in your diet and lifestyle you could end up with a more serious case in the future. You can usually judge the severity of your problem by the symptoms you have, but it's always good to verify what the problem is so you can be sure you're treating it properly. dyson dc25
