Kidney stone pain can be excruciating.
Current Situation
- 3.5 mm stone: Size is relatively small, but still causing discomfort.
- Pain recurrence: Indicates the stone is still present and causing issues.
Immediate Relief
- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water (at least 8-10 glasses a day) to help flush out the stone.
- Pain management: Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help alleviate pain and discomfort.
- Warm baths or compresses: Applying heat to the affected area may help relax the muscles and reduce pain.
Long-term Solution
- Consult a urologist: Schedule an appointment to discuss treatment options, such as:
- Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL)
- Ureteroscopy
- Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL)
- Dietary changes: Your doctor may recommend dietary modifications to help prevent future stone formation.
When to Seek Immediate Attention
- Severe pain: Unbearable pain that doesn't respond to pain medication.
- Vomiting or nausea: Persistent vomiting or nausea.
- Fever or chills: Elevated temperature or chills.
- Blood in urine: Visible blood in your urine.

View allI'm a 29-year-old working woman and I've been married for two years. We're trying for a baby and have been trying for the past couple of months. My period cycle is usually 31 days. I was expecting my period on the 24th of July but there's been no sign of it yet. I took a pregnancy test using Pregakem on the morning of the 27th, but the result was invalid; there were no lines at all. For the last 45 days, I've also been experiencing breast and nipple tenderness and have a cold sore on my lips. I'm not sure what to do next. Should I take another test or could there be something else going on?
