thanks for choosing health care magic.from your symptoms urine infection seems more likely.In case of stones normally you have severe pain in lower abdomen or flank with most of the time blood in urine.Drink plenty of fluids,avoid heavy meals.Pl.get your urine examination done for confirmation.

Hi
I will try my best to answer your query.
I advice you to do urine routine and KUB x ray to find out what is actually responsible for your
symptoms.
It will be good if you see surgeon. Both the problems are treatable.
From the above mentioned symptoms i am thinking it might be UTI. But in any case meet the surgeon
Hope my answer will be helpful for you.
Take care.
