Kidney Stones? Weird Sensation In My Penis Area
Jun 11, 2013
About 24 hours ago, I noticed that after I urinated, I would feel a weird sensation in my penis area. I thought I had an infection of some sort, but later through the day, my left kidney started to feel a bit weird.
This prompted me to believe that I might have some sort of kidney stone. I'm not sure what to do, or how to approach this, but figured I should see a urologist? I have thought about going to the ER as well.
The pain isn't unbearable, but I can feel a slight discomfort; something telling me, something is not right. There's no blood in the urine though.
I've been trying to drink lots of water tonight to see how it'll go.
Will it flush out on its own? What should I do?

I felt the need to join after something that happened yesterday and it's left me in a state of panic. I am currently 17 years old and while showering felt an intensely sharp pain on the tip of my penis. I couldn't explain what it was and then urinated after my shower but felt like something is blocking it as I couldn't pass urine like I normally could. The next morning (today) I woke up and touched my penis to see if the pain was still there but it wasn't and I could pass urine normally again. It isn't until now when I tried to examine my penis further that I felt like I pushed something to the end of my penis and touched it when extreme pain came back again. My mother and sister both suffer from kidney stones and I'm going to see the doctor tomorrow but came on here to see what you guys thought.

Is it me or is this stuff a waste of time?
I've had obout 20 lithotripsy's in 15 years of having continuous stones. They've never gotten my kidney completely empty of stones ever. I've had lithos, ureterscopy, PCNL. On meds but they can't seem to stop them from growing. I avoid alot of the things that cause stones or limit them. Got to have the 1 cup of coffee in the morning
On the day before litho, your suppose to eat light ( nothing that leaves residue in bowl) but they say you can have white bread or boiled chicken. (Why bother?) I usually only eat jello, gatorade, and just broth. Plus tons of water. The instructions say to drink the magnesium of citrate after dinner. Well to me dinner is after 6/7. But I thought this time I would take earlier since last time didn't start to move the bowels until i was in the hospital. Plus this stuff is awful- taste bad- even refrigeration like they suggest doesn't really help. Twice in past I threw it up.
So I took at 5 pm thinking it would work earlier. Nope. Nothing. Just stomach cramping and it finally started around 5 am after me getting up every hour during night. Still was working again while in hospital.
There has to be something better (tasting) and work faster. Plus less side effects. Or they should change instructions & say take a noon. Next litho (in 2-3 months) I'm taking a 1/2 day off day before and taking at noon. Maybe then can get a little sleep the night before procedure.
Sorry- felt like ranting as frustrated as its been two full days since litho and nothing passing yet. Plus I have a bad back (2 surgeries) which makes it hard to do the exercises where you drink 2 cups water, wait 30 minutes, then elevate kidney @ 45 degrees and stay like that for 30 minutes to try and get the pieces to move.

A few weeks ago I had sex with my girlfriend of 3 1/2 years. About half an hour after, I started to experience a burning sensation in my urethra in my perineal area. I took some ibuprofen and a hot bath and the pain subsided after about an hour. We had sex again over the next few weeks with no more issues. However we had sex the other day and the same result. A mild burn in my urethra. I thought that it might be the fact that I drink a lot of soda (bad for you I know) so I have started drinking strictly water the past few days in hopes that it would go away. It hasn't. I went to the doctor and they said it was probably a UTI and so they prescribed me ciprofloxacin. I just started taking it today and the pain has been off and on for about five days. I have no other side effects other than a burning in my urethra. It doesn't hurt to urinate, no discharge, etc.

During my MRI I had a pulling sensation in my abdomen area and legs a bit as well. Odd, I had one years ago and it never did that.

Thursday morning I spent the night in the ER with a kidney stone in the left kidney -- when they did a CT Scan - they came and told me that they made an "incidental finding" in the right kidney that is a problem -- they have discovered that I have a "Staghorn" kidney stone that has attached itself and almost completely filled the right kidney. He said that I will not pass it and now my GP has made me an appt. with a Nurse Practitioner at the urologist's office for Tuesday morning to discuss my options. What are my options going to be?

A while ago I had kidney stones, I was sent for a scan after, upon returning to my GP for the results of my test, he told me there were calcium deposits in my kidney that could mean I have another on the way, I've been trying to keep well hydrated and doing all I can to prevent a recurrence, because they're damn right evil, I've got away with it for quite a while now, last night I was woke up with the same pain I had when I had kidney stones, I sat on the toilet and waited for the pain so subside, it seems to have gone again for now, I was just wondering if I'm supposed to avoid eating foods rich in calcium, I'm also lactose intolerant and with all this I'm starting to wonder if I'm going to en up deficient in calcium.

Is it possible to have kidney stone pain while the stones are still in the kidney? I have about seven stones in my right kidney and five in my left... I've had lower back pain for almost a month straight and nothing makes the pain go away. I'm trying to get my urologist to call me back, but that is next to impossible if I'm not in the emergency room doubled over in pain. Any suggestions/comments are welcome here

Had anyone had kidney stones? This is my 3rd child I'm 12+1 weeks. I'm healthy.but in the last 2 weeks I have had 4 kidney stones(on top of being really sick with"morning sickness"). Not kidding it IS worse than having a baby. MY ob said they don't effect the baby at all and pregnant women are more prone to getting them.

I have had kidney stones for about 20 years and have had a number of treatments. My right kidney now works at 21% due to scarring and infections. My left is fine, working at 98% with one stone. I do not suffer many symptoms but do get an infection 1-2 times a year (I am experiencing my normal infection pain at the moment). My consultant has discussed removing my right kidney, obviously I have my concerns - will my other kidney be strong enough as I am susceptible to stones etc.

I'm a 29 year old female 36 weeks pregnant. Back in January I had a large amount of blood in my urine and some flank pain ( nothing like what most describe with stones) happened again two weeks later so my OB requested a urology work up. I had a full ultrasound which showed mild fluid in my right kidney which is normal in pregnancy. Then sent me off to a urologist for a cystoscopy and two cytologies to look for bladder tumors and Cancer cells. All which were negative. Fast forward to April and again some flank pain with blood in my urine. Urologist wants a CT scan but can't due to pregnancy. So it became a waiting game. May comes along and im having blood every few days with a little more Intense pain lower along my hip and into my pelvis. No back or 'flank' pain per say but now I am urinating large clots and tissue and blood. Went to the hospital they pumped me full of fluids did an ultrasound and saw absolutely nothing and said probably a kidney stone we'll look closer after you have the baby.... Does any of this sound like a kidney stone? They feel it would be a small one since it can't be seen on ultrasound and I am not in excruciating pain. But I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around a 'small' stone causing so much trouble, blood and clots and taking MONTHS to pass... Any thoughts?

Is it possible to have 2 different types of kidney stones? I had a cat scan and it showed only a stone in the kidney. Is it possible I could have more and they didn't show up?

I have had hyperparathyroid surgery. Had 3 of 4 removed. I also have had 3 lithotripsy (sorry about spelling) surgeries. About 2 weeks ago I had kidney scope surgery and blasted 30 stones on each side. Uro said he had never seen so many in one person. I have high oxalates, and slightly elevated sodium. My PTH is 77-106 off and on and my calcium levels are both normal. Uro and Endo are perplexed. I am wondering if it is because I have a malabsorption and a bad digestive system. They just don't know. I am watching my diet and trying to learn how to eat, but I have many food issues so hard to keep a perfect diet. I am scared to death the stones are going to come back. Doing lab and x-ray in 3 months. I want to find a specialist who can tell me why this is happening. I live in Ks but am willing to travel to find a doc who can tell me what is going on. I have also had gallstones. I am just a stone maker. Hate it. I also drink around 3 liters of water a day.

I have been passing kidney stones recently. I have had them for a decade or more but only recently started to pass them. I have an appointment next week with my urologist. I also follow up with a psychiatrist whom I have an appointment with next week but overall I am stable. However, every time a kidney stone starts to pass I encounter extreme psychosis and depression. Once they pass and are eliminated this settles.

I have a kidney stone lodged at the bottom of the right ureter pole near my bladder that won't pass into my bladder. I have been dealing with the pain of this stone moving for several weeks. My urologist say it is small enough to pass (4mm). Meanwhile I'm on pain meds and anti nausea medication. My health insurance kicks in January 1st and if it hasn't passed by the my doctor will remove it. I understand that process is as uncomfortable as the stone's movement. I have esophageal lesions and a gastric ulcer so drinking anything with lemon juice to help the stone pass is unheard of. (I read some people do that). My worst pain is in my back at the area my doctor calls the right flank; and also lower. I am also having pain in the front of my left side but I'm not sure if that's related. Has anyone had to deal with waiting for a stone to pass for this length of time. I'm miserable.

About a year ago, I had a kidney stone, and stent put in. I thought the stent would help me pass the stone. The Dr. said that wouldn't happen, removed the stent 6 weeks later, saying he thinks I still have it. To my knowledge I have not passed a stone, people say if I did I would feel it. I am now having pain, like a kidney infection, am a little worried it could be this stone. The Dr. said it would make me really sick if I don't pass it. It does hurt on the left, where the stone was located, but not like before. I don't have insurance and can't afford another ultrasound. has anyone passed a stone with stent in place? I think I passed it when I had the stent and just have an infection.

I'm a 17 year old male and about 3-4 months ago I had a lot of pain in my lower back. My fathers side of the family has a long history of kidney stones ( he just had a 14mm stone that had to be broken up). Anyways the doctors said that I have a kidney stone in my left kidney that is less than 1mm. That's not the side that bothers me, they also found a 2mm stone in my right kidney. They say this isn't causing the pain but yet I'm at a constant 7/10 on the pain scale off meds. On the meds it reduces to a 4/10 and the severe pain episodes are less frequent. I've been on and off the meds now for the last couple months but I dislike laying around like a vegetable... My pain episodes start with severe sweating and slightly higher pain levels. Then it moves on to excruciating pain that causes screaming or tearing up. Then I feel the need to use the restroom and the pain will then max out at a 10/10 on several occasions this pain has been so severe that it has caused vomiting to the point of dry heaves. I am considering having my parents take me to the hospital and demand that I have the stone removed upon my next episode of severe pain. I've never felt the testicular discomfort and I have been keeping up with about a gallon of water a day but my urine is still yellow and smes awful.. Does anyone have a recommendation on my next course of action? I'm ready to get this over with. I've had to cancel several meetings with my army recruiter due to severe pain that has prevented me from driving or the use of narcotics ( Tylenol codeine #3, percocet, endocet,hydrocodone) and alternative pain medications and antiinflammatories (Tramadol, mobic). I feel like my life is on hold.

I was diagnosed with a 5mm kidney stone. I had a ct scan and was told it was close to my bladder and it would pass in a few days.after another episode of horrible pain I then began experiencing the urge to urinate constantly with not much output. I am pretty sure the stone has moved into my bladder but it hasn't come out yet.I am drinking a lot of water to try to flush it out. How long should it take to come out once it reaches the bladder?
