Suggest Remedies For Lower Abdominal Pain During Pregnancy
Question: Hello doctor....I am currently pregnant with my 2nd child and about 15 weeks along.. i have kidney stones and i can feel a stone stuck in my ureter...ive had this pain before while passing stones...this time the pain has been around for 5 days...its a stabbing pain in the lower abdomen and a dull ache but bearable...i drink 4 litres of water everyday...is there a natural way to pass the stone from the ureter?
Brief Answer:
Chances are less
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Spontaneous passage of stones from the ureter depends upon the size of the bladder stone, and the normal anatomy and structure of ureter and bladder.
In pregnancy, there is compression of the ureters by the pregnant enlarged uterus, so the chances of spontaneous passage is less .
I will suggest you to consult a urologist for proper examination, investigations and treatment accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
