Wow currently suffering through a kidney stone. Learned so much. THANK YOU!

25MM STONE CAN PASS WITH MULTIPLE HOMEOPATHY MEDICINE WITH SOME PAIN .IF U HAVE AUTOCOIDS HIGHER IN BLOOD
Good advice. Thanks heeps! I'm 74 and have had my second kidney stone. The pain was "through the roof" .... three years ago I had a similar incident which sent me to hospital. Now I know what's happening, I drink LOTS more. After listening to you - and several others, I think I will have to go further!!!
THANK YOU! Dutch doctor here told me there is no special diet. Told me there is nothing I can change in my daily diet and schedule to prevent the next stone from forming. I was doubting him so decided to look it up myself. And wow, you have a lot of information for me to work with! Gonan stick to all your advise and hope that helps prevent a next stone or at least delay it. Thank you!!!!!
I’m 29. First stone at 25 i had no idea what it was, I was single at the time and had nobody to assist me. Honestly thought maybe my appendix burst. I guess I had a 4mm stone (mine are super jagged sharp and go in all directions) I cried. I was scared. It sucked. Docs said I had a couple more. But I was no longer in pain once it passed and that’s all I cared about. Well here we are 4 years later. DUN DUN DUN. Last month 3mm by 6mm came out pain lasted 1-3 hours not too bad. And now… as I’m typing this I have been going on 3 weeks now of non stop every few minutes or hours stone pain in my groin and inner thigh and all over. All I can think is those old stones are wanting to come down but are struggling bad. (I have 3 in left kidney largest is 3mm and 1 in right kidney smaller than 1mm) to my fellow humans I am so sorry if your hurting reading this. I am right there with you. All I can suggest is at night take 1-2 Tylenol PM drink 2 glasses of water and remember it’s temporary. To those experiencing it alone, we are all here! And in 1 month you’ll be back to normal! Take care y’all. And take of ourselves!
Thank you for your comment. I have severe pain in my vagina especially when I’m urinating. It feels like something sharp is about to come out.
I’m only two weeks in and I feel like I can’t take it anymore. Does it really take a month? I’m miserable.
Thanks for this post. I just found out I have one last Saturday (first one ever and hopefully last). 5mm in my right Kidney. I would rather have full blown Covid 19 (original strain, which I did have 2 years ago, lasted 2 weeks and was miserable) than have what I have now. I have been drinking 2000ml of water a day mixing some of it with 1/2 cup of lemon juice to help break it up. Started eating some oranges as well. This is the most painful thing I have ever had.
Did you ever have pain after you passed a stone? I passed my first today at 46, they said it was 4mm but its actually thorn shaped and 7mm from tip to tip (its triangular) and scratched me on the way out, now it hurts like I am sliced up a little inside. Ever have anything similar? Not a lot of info or videos about after damage. Thanks for sharing!
@@braindesigns7021 yes! Hurts for about a couple days . Doctors really don’t know shit. Especially if they haven’t had one personally. They claim oh you have no pain receptors blah blah. Bottom line is you are passing. Jagged rock through a 3mm tube. Much like a cut on your hand it’s going to burn for a few days especially when you put soap or salt. It’s the same with our lower region! Drink plenty of water and juice keep up on your immune system. If I made it you will def make it! Much love this is a pain I never want anyone to experience.
Had my first stone at 18. I would have at least 10 a year until I turned 40. My urologist was doing a CT scan on my back and went a bit high. The tech stuck her head out and asked if I ever had thyroid problems. What's a thyroid??😂😂 3 months later thyroid and parathyroid were removed. Approximately 1 year later my stones stopped forming!!
*I found this channel randomly; it is really a channel that produces quality content. Congratulations* ❤️
This female, always dropping some serious knowledge...I love that! Merry Xmas beautiful people!
Awesome video. Very informative, thanks so much for taking the time to explain it all.
Dr. Malik, I love your channel! Thank you for all you do to bring clarity to so many topics, issues. I dealt with a kidney stone about 2 years ago, experienced pain like I never have before. The information provided in this video will help to prevent or better deal with future stone issues. I’ll be providing this video to friends, as well. All the best!
Hello how you doing ??
Hey dear how are you doing ?
Dr. Malik, great information. If you get a chance, can you complete a short teaching video on hypospadias and the complications that can come from this? Thanks!
Hi Dr. Malik. My husband was a pt of yours. You are the best of the bestest. Thank you for restoring him.
Dear Rena,
Could you be so kind make a video about urethral stricture ?
Solution, how long last the recovery after surgery etc?
This video I’m saving for sure because you have just helped me a lot!! I’ve had kidney stones at least 4 times in my life but was able to pass them thank god, except 2 years ago I had two, one in each kidney and had to have the laser surgery to remove them. Now here we are two years later and I have them again!! But what really helped me with this video is that this time my testicles have been hurting and I couldn’t figure out why but you explained that in this video so thank you.
Hello how you doing
Excellent video, thank you so much for your hard work and these informative and entertaining videos! Happy holidays.
Thank you for letting the public now and you and everyone else have a safe holiday
Thank you Dr. Malik - for being you!
Hello how you doing
Excellent information. Thank you so much❤🙏
Just had one 4mm. He'll of a pain, went to ER. Was moving to my bladder. Had op to smash it and then peed it. Finally feel a great release. Doc said all clear.
Helpful information. I'm still waiting for my urology appointment to discuss my kidney stone(s), after being diagnosed on Monday. Thank you for sharing this 😁
I remember, as young Pvt stationed in Korea back in late 1999-2000, after morning company PT i was getting ready to go to the chow hall, went to take a piss and panicked when i started pissing blood then i felt this sharp pain down there.
My roommate who was older than me, told me: you just passed a kidney stone. They made me take the bus to another base. But i remember having to walk super slow for a few days.
Hi doctor hope you are doing great I found your channel randomly and now I'm a regular viewer by the way I'm from India and both of my parents are doctors themselves my mother is an MD gynecologist and my father is an MD chest specialist am a NEET aspirant my self I hope that your amazingly great videos would help me in medical college

Excellent information! I’ve had my first stone that was surgically removed as a teenager. One in my early 30’s that passed with minor pain. Last one a couple years ago I passed and it was a big one 10mmx5mm while at home. It was by far the worst pain and it took about three weeks until it passed. Immediately afterward I felt so much better. I greatly appreciate the info provided today to learn more about stones. My first one was tested and was calcium type. I’m trying to watch my sodium now and you’ve explained yet another reason for me to do so. Happy New Year 🎊
But how? Normally over 4 mm they have to break up
How did you get it out?did you drink lots of water, do we have to strain when peeing to get it out?
Thank you
You have not mentioned hyperparathyroidism as a cause of kidney stones. I had a right superior adenoma diagnosed after have many many large and small stones. I was unusual in that I had normalocalcium. Now having stones again after a several year reprieve.
Simply the worst pain I ever had in my entire life. Brutal
Tell me about it these things are awful.
Excellent educational helpful video. Blessings to Dr. Rema for the kind & humane work. Keep it up.
My personal doc told me once - As a doctor I can't recommend it officially, but as a man to man I would suggest - if you're in kidney stone pain, take 3 or 4 bottles of beer and then sit into a hot bath for half an hour .. those suckers should come out now.
This advice became a life saver to me .. that damn pain can be incredible ...
Hey dear how are you doing ?
Why would this help?
Hi Dr I'm 73 ,with diabetes ,the stone I had previously,saved my life ,didn't know I was diabetic ,I've passed 20 zones at least ,I like ur site
Hey dear how are you doing ?
I have medullary sponge kidneys. I’ve passed many stones, largest was 6 mm. 7 mm was removed via laser lithotripsy. Currently have a 6x8 mm stuck at the UVJ I’ve been trying to pass now for 2 weeks. Passing blood and leukocytes. Lithotripsy scheduled next week. My right kidney has a 9 mm. I begged the doc to consider shockwave for the larger stones. As a dialysis nurse I really don’t want to jeopardize my kidney function!
Thanks for the info!
Very informative.... Thanks, Dr. 👍
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!
Hello how you doing
I had about 10 episodes of kidney stones. Longest time it took for a stone to pass approx 35 hours. Thank God I haven’t had a stone for the past 2 years.
Nice video like other videos, thanks so much for your useful clips.
Merry Christmas Rena you have a great day thanks for sharing your content all year I learn a lot from you ❤️🥰🌲🇨🇦
Hello how you doing
Yeah my father is coming home today so happy he is he had kidney stones before but this was gal bladder stone he had that had to be removed so happy he is coming home especially on Christmas
Great information!! Unfortunately I had to get my stone surgically removed. I pray that I will be good now.🙏🙂
Which of the surgeries...is it urethrascopic Lithotripsy....I have kidney stone and I was told to do urethrascopic Lithotripsy..but I haven't yet
Thank you doctor.. you are always straight to the point
Hey dear how are you doing ?
I was 15 when I had them first . doctors were shocked at that time .now as I am 17 still suffering with time to time forming of stone in both of my kidneys. I had learn a lot .
Merry Christmas Dr. Rena. I had to have 2 surgeries to remove kidney stones. Wouldn't wish that on anyone
Can you please make a video about how to deal with kidney stones once someone already has them, so as to make passing the stones either painless or minimally painful? Can you also talk about how to prevent oneself from getting kidney stones in the future? Thanks!
Thanks for your kindness help support guidance
Excellent Summary Dear Dr Rena. I had this issue(unexpected 4mm) over a decade back, ended in emergency to find it with a huge bill on my wallet. No family history but I guess my over Coke consumption over a decade prior to the stones could be the reason(its just my personal guess). Your video is quite enlightening and informative. Thank you.
That must have hurt.
Thanks renal for making this video God bless you. Please I have a question how can one get ride of the stone faster without surgery ?
Though I have been talking much water, lemon juice and apple cider vinegar but I need your directions on the quantity of this to help push it out
I was a chronic coke drinker for yrs and had my first attack. Worse pain I ever had. That constant pain on the back and stomach for a few hrs. No bueno
The ONLY time I ever saw my dad on the floor unable to move because of pain is when he had his first kidney stone when I was about 10. He was allergic to the dye used to find them but eventually found it. He had at least one more attack of "gravel" and he described how they felt when he passed them..... no thank you... He gave up hot tea, iced tea, and his daily 16 oz bottle of Pepsi.
Hello how you doing
Why hot tea ?
@@sicuro5050 Acid buildup that can lead to stones - at least the time (mid-70s)
Thank you, helps to hear what to do. I had bladder stones this fall.
Hello how you doing ?
I always enjoy watching your videos
Thanks so much doctor for those important trips ❤❤
My dad has passed several kidney stones over the years. It seems like every year he has at least one. I remember hearing him tell someone that he screamed when he passed his stone. I imagine that must have been a decent sized one.
Very helpful video - thank you
Superb information
I hope you're like me, holidays don't stop the passion. If not, remember to practice self-care too. Another excellent production, thanks!!
Hello how you doing
Hey doctor. Love your videos. You're so informative
Hello how you doing
You have a gift of understatement regarding pain....
I had a 6mm stone and the pain was a whole new level of pain!
The kind of pain that NOTHING helps. You roll back and forth in horrific pain with no relief.
And in the ER they had to give me very powerful opioids.
Hello how you doing
@@bensonthomas2339 The problems I had with the stone was a year ago. I'm fine now.

Think it’s best if I don’t watch any more of these posts for awhile. I’m developing bit of a crush on this amazing woman. I’ll be back. Thanks for educating us all. 🙌
Hello how are you doing
This girls good, super informative
Thank you. Happy holidays
Excellent video.
Love your videos informative and fun to watch. Had a 14 mm stone removed a couple months ago plus some smaller ones. This is the third time for me. Just having way to much fun and some prostate problems just to top it up a little oh and a kidney that doesn’t work to well. Very important to get the stone removed if it’s on the good kidneys side. Back pressure is not good for kidneys

Very well done and informative. What ia actually happening when you are feeling pain? What is the mechanism/cause?
Wow! Great job Doc!
Hello how you doing
First of all, thank you doctor Rena for this video and also for maintaining this great channel up.
We know some of the infos are already somewhere, however when you take a small portion to make a video and CZcams got us notified about it, it serves us greatly as a reminder or a get to know for a better prevention that can save many lives.
I have a few questions about kidney stones:
1- What are the sides effects for different procedures to get rid of kidney stones?
2- If a parent had kidney stones, do you think the risk for kids to have it is higher?
3- If a kidney stone just got broken, how long for a next one to form?
4- Can kidney stones kill people?
5- Can kidney stones make the kidney failure?
Hello how you doing
I love this. I learn so much
Hello how you doing
Thanks, Doc. I have an 8 mm size stone. Thank you for the advice on alleviating the pain, but my wife’s not too happy about it!
My first stones took me five weeks to pass. I’m not kidding. When I finally passed the first one, it was huge, about the size of my pinkie nail. When I passed the other one, it was medium sized. The relief was instantaneous.
Did you actually notice when you peed it out? Or just never felt symptoms again, so knew the stone was out? Im going on 4 weeks now, and still havent passed mine
@@erichaugen8411 well, when I got the stone, I went to the ER for the pain and they gave me a strainer to pee with. It was meant to catch the stone, so it could be tested at a lab and see what it was made of to cut certain foods and drinks out of the diet. I felt the relief as soon as it came out of me, which gave me a clue the stone passed.
@@erichaugen8411How did your's go? I think I'm having my first one and it's been a few weeks of so much pain. I almost passed out in front of a bunch of people. I can't go to a doctor, so doing it on my own. Any info would be greatly appreciated!!
What did you take to make them come out?
@@siafaau7565 I drank water like there was a miracle cure at the bottom of the cup. My doctor also gave me a ureter expanding medicine.
Great topic. And the title made me laugh out loud!
Merry Christmas to my favorite Doctor
I've had stones since I was 18, I found out in that same year I found I have one kidney and no matter what I do in changing my diet I get them alot and it's just maddening.
Thank you Doc (can I call you doc?)
This is the info we never got until it was too late.
Thank you Dr Malik. I had stones years ago. I just thought I got them from drinking Soda. 2 occurrences. I drank a lot of soda. It’s been year but no stones lately. I do have Coke every often but no issues with stones. I had lithotripsy a few years back an had one “stuck” they didn’t blast but no systems. By the way, You are absolutely Beautiful. I know you’re more than that. Your Beauty and intelligence puts you in the 1 pct. Don’t be offended. I’m a guy and that’s how we think. 😂😂😂 Anyway, thank you for all that you do. I’m sure a LOT of men appreciate how you address issues with no judgment. I am a big fan. 👍🏾

I’ve passed over 55 stones since 1991 and have gotten such conflicting information over the years from 7 different urologists. First it was no dairy foods. Then a year later, eat yogurt, cheese and all dairy products. Have had multiple lithotripsy and cystoscopies. All stones have been calcium oxalate. Last stone I passed in the hospital was 9 mm. Then the hospital discharged me and within a day I developed sepsis and it was dicey for a week at another hospital. Take care of yourself and don’t fool around with kidney stones. Get a good Urologist!
Hello how you doing
I’m only 20 I have kidney stones and I just had a cystoscopy and lithotripsy. Doctor told me this is something I’m gonna have to deal with throughout my whole life and after reading your comment I guess he’s right😢
@@babykyee I am 53 years old ...have had stones off and on since 19 years old. 5 or 6 total
I’ve passed over 150 kidney stones, had ESWL three times, one open surgery, over the last forty eight years.
What a great topic for Christmas!
Hello how are you doing
I've had three episodes of stones so far. The first episode was confusing as I was initially getting the sensation of passing razor blades after using the toilet, after 10 days or so the extreme pain started. That stone was removed by surgery (grab and remove). The second episode was a 4mm stone that required surgical removal and a stent in the ureter afterwards. The third time was a smaller stone that passed after a few days. My comment about my kidneys is that they are trying to excrete a gravel driveway, one stone at a time... Thanks for your channel, it a very useful source of information. :)
Hey dear how are you doing ?
I had one stone started at 7mm, 10/10/2010, originally left the kidney, a year later I thought a second stone 1/4 way down the tube, a year later 3/4 way down towards the bladder. about a year later it was stalled near the bladder. All four times pain beyond relief, all four time went to the emergency room. Only on the last time did the ER Doctor figure it was the same stone slowly sliding down the tube from the Kidney to the Bladder. The next day a camera, laser and basket was shoved in and located, blasted and grabbed. The first urination was like shooting sand from a shotgun. It's been 7 years and I've been pain free, stone free.
Hello how you doing
@@bensonthomas2339 so far 7 years no issues, I drink more water, squeeze a lemon in to help soften an possible new stones.
Can you educate us about having pain or pressure when urinating for men and women and what to do
This beautiful doctor popped up on my feed. No need for a Urologist…..but I now watch because I have a CZcams crush on her.
I have been battling kidney stones for years being high risk because red meat eater, high salt diet, and obesity. I've found taking AZO over the counter urinary tract pain med and soaking in a hot bath helps relieve a lot of the pain . The AZO will numb the urethra canal and the hot water or heating pad, relaxes the muscle
Hi I had a 5mm kidney stone that got stuck,after a few weeks I decided to drink coconut water and the stone started moving again and passed..I live in Australia and enjoy your videos
Hello how you doing
Having had a large kidney stone about 5 years ago I can agree with most of what is stated here, but also disagree with some as well. I received ultrasound treatment on my kidney stone as it was determined that it was too large to pass (after an x-ray scan), at that point I'd just been managing the pain with large doses of pain killers for about a month. The ultrasound roughly smashed the stone in half (pulverising half of it, which I passed later that day), half remained and slowly worked it's way down. This followed an approximate cycle of every two weeks I would have to manage the pain for 2 or 3 days. This continued for the next 4 months (so I wish it had only taken 40 days!) until I finally passed the stone in approximately 30 seconds of the second worst physical pain I have ever felt (the top spot on that list was the first day the stone left the kidney). Ironically, this was only a few days before I was scheduled for a second session of ultrasound treatment (which they should have given me much earlier, but no-one was aware that I'd only had one). One of the comments in the video I feel I would disagree with is the drinking of lots of fluids while trying to pass a stone. It's certainly good advice if the stone is small, but it can cause increased pain, pressure and complications if the stone is large and obstructing the ureter almost completely (depending on shape). So that advice I would say is on a case by case basis. In my particular case, the remainder of the stone was an irregular shape which made it painful when it moved, but it didn't seem to obstruct the flow of urine to the bladder significantly. Finally I would just like to express my sympathies to anyone who has to go through this - I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy ;-)
Did you scream when it came out?
I hear this often “don’t wish it on worst enemy.” I wholeheartedly agree.
Thank you Dr rena
Doctor said real fact of our life.
Thanks for Info Doc. My wife’s name is RENA (Renee) and my son’s name is Malik (MAlik).
Thank you for the video
Hello how are you doing
Over a period of two years, I had one in each kidney. Now I know what pain is all about. Wound up in emergency for both. They did a scan and determined that they were small enough to pass on their own. But, during the second trip they discover I had one about 18mm in the other kidney. That took a bit of work to get rid of it, two sessions of shock wave treatments got half of it. They got the remainder with a laser.
Hey dear how are you doing ?
How was the scan ? X-ray or CT
Shock..wave....HUH
@@MissyWebb12 You lie on a special bed and they pound the stone.
Dr @Rena Malik, M.D., Thanks a lot for such an informative video. I was in the hospital on Friday for the same thing, a stone of 7mm was stuck in Ureter/Bladder Junction. That is passed now, but I still have two more stones, one is 6-7mm and the other is around 3-4mm in my right kidney and I am taking fluids and a syrup (Disodium Hydrogen Citrate) to help me pass those. I had two procedures (Lithtripsy for right kidney and Lithoclast for left Kidney/Ureter) back in 2017 and now these stones are back again :(
Your video is really helpful, thanks a lot, keep creating this amazing content.
Did the stone in bladder junction came out on it's own?
@@ashutosh6960 yes it kind of did. I had to get CT Scan KUB done, and for that I had to drink lot of water so that my bladder is full for the scans, and after the scan I urinated and stone passed out as well.
@@JunaidRehmatRana did you find the stone? Also does it hurts when stone comes out from urethra?
@@ashutosh6960 it is the worst pain ever. nothing stops it, breathing not breathing, walking, sitting, lying down, nothing. And yes I had severe pain, so I went for the checkup and found stones in Ultrasound, and then more clearly in CT Scans.
very helpful
In my experience, nothing beats excruciating pain in the lower abdomen to get you in the mood.
Hello how you doing
Today I just subscribed and liked it your channel
My 6mm stone caused pain so severe for many hours that on a scale of 1 to 10, it was about a 20. Not kidding. I cannot imagine suffering a pain any worse and still be alive or conscious. There were other symptoms that were extreme and equally intolerable. At the ER, after taking several hours to image it before diagnosis, they finally gave me morphine which achieved absolutely nothing in terms of pain relief. At last they administered delaudid, which does provide temporary pain relief.
I feel your pain. The pain is excruciating. Morphine did nothing for me. I just got a stent in two days ago. I really hope the kidney stones pass soon.
Had several Uric acid stones maybe 6 or so. After having those I tolerate pain a lot more by comparing what's happening at the time to a full blown kidney stone episode. Felt like someone had stabbed you and twist the knife.
My greatest fear was when urinating I would hear the stone hit the toilet bowl. And it would ricochet up and hit me in the eye!!
One other thing not mentioned is that if the stone tears up the ureter and you bleed a lot,. Blood clots can be a problem in the bladder. Requiring catheterization to empty your bladder
The first time I had a kidney stone I thought I was going to die. Unfortunately (at least almost), I did not. :D
@@billko867 the first one I had went to back woods hospital , that put me in a room and left me to scream for the day. Before the they finally transfered me to hospital that knew something. I was left there until the next day, the pain stopped and I said bull shit can't be serious or would have gotten treatment. I left there went home.
Only my first 5 kidney stones were not Uric Acid Stones. I have passed around 53 or 54 kidney stones. I had gout, which caused a lot of them! But, in 2007, my Uric Acid levels went back to normal, although, I still don't eat a lot of the foods that cause gout!
The longest it has taken me to pass a stone have all been Uric Acid stones...several have been the size of lemon seeds! Yeah...it was not pleasant at all!
With good pain meds, and lots of water...they can easily passed at home!
@@larryd4352 my hat is off to you. My first was the size of BB. Several months between sever pain and hitting toilet bowl. But no pain after initial pain in two hospitals.
I had one in 2016 that thing is no joke. I thought I ruptured my appendix. Fast forward to today and getting ready to pass another one. A bit more prepared tjis time around. Got prescribed flomax and taradol
I'm currently dealing with one 😢
