Do kidney stones cause discharge?

I've been having some pain in my lower abdomen and side, which might be kidney stone related. At the same time, I've noticed some unusual discharge. Is it possible that kidney stones can cause discharge, or are these two separate issues?

I used to have barley water and coconut water thinking it would cure everything, but for unusual discharge, home remedies won't really help. If there is some infection due to the stone scratching the lining, you need proper medical treatment. Try drinking lots of warm water, but definitely see a gynaecologist or urologist.

Actually, kidney stones themselves don't directly cause discharge, but they can cause irritation or lead to an infection which might. Since I manage my diabetes, I have to be extremely careful with any sign of infection, so please get your urine checked. Also, keep your sugar levels in control as high sugar can make infections worse.

I totally get it, dealing with kidney stone pain is already so stressful, and now having to worry about discharge must be exhausting. Please don't panic, but do consult your doctor soon. It might just be a mild infection that can be easily treated with the right medicine.

Wait, is this normal? I have been having a slight discharge too along with my back ache and I am honestly getting so worried now. Did anyone else here face this same issue when they had stones, or is it a sign of something more serious?

Directly toh nahi hota kidney stone se discharge, haan agar urine tract me infection ho gaya ho stone ki wajah se toh normal hai. Doctor ko dikhana better rahega na, risky case lagta hai. Apne se toh bilkul andaza mat lagao.
