Kidney Stone Symptoms — Which Doctor Should I See?

Common symptoms include severe pain in the back or side, painful urination, nausea, vomiting, and blood in urine. Pain may come and go in waves.

Seek immediate care if you have severe pain, fever with pain, inability to urinate, or persistent vomiting. These may indicate complications requiring urgent treatment.

Symptoms can last from minutes to days depending on stone size and location. Small stones may pass within weeks, while larger stones may require medical intervention.
