Hi. I am a 34yr old male. Kidney stones run in the family. Went to er twice this year. Took blood ,urine also did ct &ultrasound. I have 3mm stone. Was given flomax& cipro. Still have back pain&abdominal pain,and frequent urination.Urine is clear. Sometimes nausea and dizziness. Could the stone still be stuck. What could this be?
Hi, Thanks for writing in. A 3 mm stone in the kidney is very small and unlikely to cause any obstruction to passage of urine. It will most likely pass by itself and rarely might cause mild pain along the sides and lower abdomen on its way out of the system. Flomax and ciprofloxacin are given to cause pain relief and treat any urinary infection. It is not possible for a 3 mm stone to get stuck for a long time, and it usually passes out with the urine flow. Your nausea and dizziness cannot be explained due to this completely and I suggest you get a blood check done to know there is any condition. Please do not worry.
