kidney stone Posted: 02-18-08 18:29pm
I had a kidney stone last week and passed
it on the same day i had pain in my back.
that day i went to a doctor and had a
sonogram which showed no stones but
hydonefrosis in my right kidney (where i
had the stone, i guess). My question is
im still urinating frequently even after
passing the stone, is this normal. Im
told this is because of the hydronefrosis
and the kidney healing. Is this true? i
have no pain, just an annoying feeling
like my bladder gets full faster than
normal and i have to go a lot. thanks.
if anyone has experienced this let me
know.

With hydronephrosis your kidney ends up
getting larger from lack of urine being
able to pass either from a stone or
another type of obstruction.
It might take a little time for it to
empty completely, but I would think by now
it would have emptied fairly sooner than
this.
Is it possible you have an infection?
When you urinate is it a lot or little
each time? If it 's a little you might
still have a small stone causing
occasional blockages from it moving.
Some stones do not show up on scans.
