View allI'm a bit worried because I've noticed a change in my urine color; it's turned orange. I'm also experiencing some stomach discomfort. Could this be caused by taking Supradyn capsules? And if it's not related to that, what else might be causing orange urine?
Supradyn capsules, a multivitamin supplement, are unlikely to cause a change in urine color or stomachache; orange urine can indicate dehydration, consumption of foods like carrots or rhubarb, or supplements containing riboflavin (B2) or beta-carotene, but it can also be a sign of an underlying medical condition, such as liver or kidney disease, so if you're concerned consult urologist

Can lithotripsy work for a 22mm kidney stone? I'm really scared of surgery and hoping there's another option
Stones that are smaller than 2 cm in diameter are the best size for SWL. The treatment might not be effective in very large ones. SWL is more appropriate for some people than others. Because x-rays and shock waves are needed in SWL, pregnant women with stones are not treated this way.
