People who take high doses of vitamin D, have had a history of urinary tract infections or metabolic disorders are more likely to develop urolithiasis. They, like some other risk groups, should also see a urologist. A urologist from the Republican Oncological Dispensary and Hospital named after Saransk told socialbites.ca. SVKatkova Nikita Stepanov.
“Genitourinary tract infections, high doses of vitamin D and metabolic disorders (such as diabetes) increase the risk of developing urolithiasis. Also, the probability of kidney stones in close relatives is higher: parents, grandparents. Also, the disease often occurs in people from areas with hard water,” Stepanov explained.
If a person is exposed to at least one risk factor, they should see a urologist to be checked for the presence of urolithiasis, otherwise they may experience a sudden attack of renal colic.
“Symptoms of renal colic include sudden, cramp-like pain in the lumbar region. It can radiate throughout the abdomen, in men the pain can radiate to the penis and scrotum, and in women to the labia and perineum. The intensity of the pain can range from unimaginable agony to an unpleasant tingling sensation. Possible uncontrollable vomiting, blood pressure problems, bloating, stool disorders, difficulty urinating, blood in the urine, fever and chills,” the doctor said.
Many patients compare renal colic pain to a knife blow. Neither changing body position nor painkillers help. In some cases, the condition is life-threatening. In this case, even a small stone stuck in the ureter can cause colic. Stepanov emphasized that a timely visit to a urologist can prevent painful symptoms.
