Can u die from kidney stones?
My brother just had surgery for a very large kidney stone, and he was in immense pain. It made me wonder how serious these can be. Can you die from kidney stones if they are not treated?

Yes, if a stone completely blocks the urinary tract, it can cause a severe kidney infection or sepsis, which is life-threatening. I had a 10mm stone that got infected and I had to be hospitalized urgently. Please see a urologist right away if you have severe back pain and fever.

Usually, kidney stones themselves are not fatal, but severe infection or blockage can cause complications if ignored. Keep a calm mind, stay hydrated, and let the doctors treat it. May you find peace and healing soon.

Generally, stones pass with water and proper care, but severe blockages can damage the kidneys. Regular practice of gentle yoga and drinking plenty of warm water helps in flushing small stones. For larger ones, always consult a doctor first.

Nahi ji, pathri se aam taur par maut nahi hoti, par dard bahut bura hota hai. Agar peshab me khoon aaye ya tez bukhaar ho, toh turant doctor sahib ko dikhana chahiye. Khoob sara paani peeya karo.

Directly toh nahi, par agar infection ho gaya ya block ho gaya sab kuch, toh danger ho sakta hai na. Mere husband ko bhi tha, unka dard dekh kar meri jaan nikal gayi thi. Haan, pani khoob piyo aur doctor se scan kara lo ek baar.
