What are the symptoms?

Many kidney stones don't move and are too small to cause any symptoms. However, if a kidney stone causes a blockage, or moves into the ureter, it may cause some of the following symptoms:

  • severe pain or aching in the back on one or both sides
  • sudden spasms of excruciating pain (renal or uteric colic) - this usually starts in the back below the ribs, before radiating around the abdomen, and sometimes to the groin and genitalia
  • bloody, cloudy or smelly urine
  • feeling or being sick
  • a frequent urge to urinate, or a burning sensation during urination
  • fever and chills

These can also be symptoms of a urinary tract infection, or cystitis, which is much more common than kidney stones in young women. If you have one or more of these symptoms you should seek medical advice.

Kidney stones are usually passed out of the body within 48 hours, but attacks can sometimes last for over 30 days.
