What do kidney stones look like??? How do you know if you have them?

Kidney Stones are really small roundish things that are made of mineral salts.

You know if you have them when you get these symptoms. (Sometimes they are no symptoms though)

-Acute renal colic (severe colicky flank pain radiating to groin, scrotum, labia)
-Nausea, vomiting
-Restlessness (tryng to find comfortable position to ease the pain)
-Dull pain (ill-defined, lumbar, abdominal, intermittent pain)
-Urgency (urge to empty the bladder)
-Frequency (frequent urination)
-Gross hematuria (blood in urine visible to naked eye, usually there is pain)
-Fever (when complicated by infection)

I think if you two of these symptoms you should probably see a doctor.

My dad had them so I know what I am taking about... and good luck and pray you don't have them..they hurt a lot.
