Can urinary stones cause stomach discomfort

Urinary calculi generally refer to urinary calculi. Whether they cause stomach discomfort is related to the position of the calculi.

If the calculi are located in the lower urinary tract, they will only cause discomfort in the lower urinary tract, such as frequent urination and urgency. Generally, they will not affect the gastrointestinal tract, so stomach discomfort will not occur. However, if the calculi are located in the upper urinary tract, especially in the ureter, the nerves governing the gastrointestinal tract may be stimulated during the movement of the calculi, resulting in stomach pain, stomach distension, nausea, vomiting and other stomach discomfort symptoms.

Patients with urinary calculi should pay attention to drinking more water every day to flush the urethra and promote the excretion of tiny calculi. If the stones are large, it is recommended to seek medical advice in time for standardized treatment.
