Do you bleed with kidney stones?

Some dull pain in my lower back and side has been bothering me, and my colleague mentioned it could be kidney stones. Is it true that kidney stones often cause bleeding, maybe even without seeing it in the urine?

I can only speak from my own experience, but when I was passing my 6mm kidney stone, my urine was noticeably pinkish and sometimes even light red. It was quite scary to see, but my doctor told me it happens because the sharp edges of the stone scratch the inner walls. It's best to have a medical professional evaluate your specific case.

I literally just finished treatment for a kidney stone last week. Yes, I had visible blood in my urine, especially after a sudden bout of sharp back pain. It is super common, but you definitely need an ultrasound and a doctor's guidance to make sure the stone isn't blocking your urinary path.

Haan babu, jab pathri khisakti hai toh peshab mein halka laal rang ya khoon aa sakta hai. Isse ghabrana nahi chahiye, par dhyan rakhna zaroori hai. Aap khoob saara paani pijiye aur apne paas ke sarkari ya bade daktar babu ko zaroor dikha lijiye.

Haan yaar, kidney stone mein urine mein blood aana completely normal hai, tension mat lo. Stone jab travel karta hai toh thoda scratch toh karega na. Bas pani dher saara piyo aur ek baar doctor ko dikha kar proper checkup karwa lo na.

Yes, bleeding is a very common symptom when you have kidney stones. Please try to drink plenty of fluids and rest, and let a doctor guide you through the recovery.

In my experience, when the body tries to eliminate a stone, the delicate urinary lining can get irritated, leading to mild bleeding. Keeping your body hydrated with pure water and practicing light, calming breathing exercises can help manage the spasm. Please seek proper medical advice to monitor the stone's movement safely.
