Sure you know when you have kidney stone pain, but is it possible to pass the stone without knowing it?

Q: It’s a long story…but I recently had an emergency room visit involving the worst lower abdominal/pelvic pain I’ve ever experienced. It happened out of nowhere in the middle of the night. I was sure something really terrible was happening. To make a long story short, regular xrays and a urine and blood test were all done. This did not yield any definite answers besides ruling out pregnancy and appendicitis. The doctor decided to give me a laxative on a whim…because he couldn’t see anything physically wrong. He said he wanted to do an ultrasound. I had already been there 6 hours so I asked him if I could just take the laxative and come back if it didn’t fix the pain.So the constant pain went away, but every so often after that I still got a twinge of that terrible pain.So I’m hoping someone with kidney stone experience or a nurse can tell me whether or not that sounds like a kidney stone, and if a kidney stone can pass without you knowing.I hadn’t really thought about kidney stones until I had heard that one of my friends had one. So out of curiosity I went onto webmd.com and checked out some information on them.I also know that an ultrasound might’ve shown a kidney stone…and that I probably shouldn’t have refused it. But I was on vacation, and spending 7 hours in a Canadian ER was the last thing I wanted to be doing.Well the problem with the urine test they did was that I was menstruating that day and there was blood in the sample I gave them….also, my blood cell count was low and my platelets were high. I’m also pretty anemic…so that’s why the blood cell count it always so low.

A: Kidney stones can be as a spec which can only be properly seen under a microscope, or as large as or sometimes larger than a marble. Small kidney stones usually do not cause any noticeable symptoms. Many people with very small kidney stones, usually excrete them from the body (in the urine), without even noticing. If stones are large enough to cause obstruction of the urine flow, then they can create quite a bit of discomfort.It sounds to me that you may have had a medium to large kidney stone. It is quite possible for kidney stones that are not excessively large, to be dislodged by themselves. It usually happens during urination (hence the reason, people with kidney stones should drink lots of water).A word of caution: Persons who previously had kidney stones are at greater risk of recurrence. Also, persons with relatives who have or had this condition are at risk of being affected by it. So, watch your diet and drink adequate amounts of water daily.For more information on kidney stones, visit http://www.comprehensive-kidney-facts.com/kidney-stones.html

Chlamydia testing during pregnancy?

Q: Is it ok to have a chlamydia test while you are pregnant? Would it effect the baby?Reason I ask is before I found out I was pregnant (I was two days late) I was admitted to hospital with severe abdominal pain. They did a chlamydia test on me which involved turning a swab around inside the cervix (sorry if TMI and if incorrect – this is what I have been told). It hurt like hell! I’d had one done before and that had hurt too! But I was just wondering if it could have effected my unborn baby? Just interested. We lost our little girl at 25 weeks gestation and it’s just one of those things that has played on my mind since. Like did the test lead to… etc!Just been silly probably but wondered…Oh I didn’t mention! I was negative for chlamydia! I got tested for all sorts and they all came back negative! That’s when they did a scan and found cysts on my ovaries and found the baby!

A: Hiya,No it wouldn’t have affected the pregnancy. During my first appointment with my midwife she asked if there was a chance i could have chlamydia. There wasn’t so i wasn’t tested for it, but they can test for it during pregnancy. They used to do alot of internal examinations during pregnancy and they didn’t affect pregnancys. Also they do internal scans now, which are safe.

Abdominal Myomectomy for Uterine Fibroid Tumors?

Q: I have done my research, so I am really looking for answers based on the personal experience of other women. PLEASE, serious responses only.Background: I’m 34 and I have uterine fibroid tumors, diagnosed by internal ultrasound. 2 of the 3 are quite large. 1 is pedunculated. I know that small, asymptomatic fibroids are commonly left untreated, but in my case, my doctor recommends removal because of the size and my symptoms. My symptoms include pain, enlarged abdomen, bladder/urinary issues, pain during intercourse and even tampon use, dysfunctional vaginal bleeding (like a period, but for 2+ wks of the month, in addition to my week-long, heavy period), etc. My doctor also recommends surgery because removal will increase my chances (from my current state) of being able to conceive later.In my case, my doctor determined that the only surgery available to me is abdominal myomectomy. (There are less evasive treatments including medications and laparoscopy, but I do not qualify for them.) This surgery involves a 4-5″ horizontal incision in my abdomen and an incision in the uterine wall once the uterus is lifted out through the incision. If I am later able to conceive, and if I successfully carry a child near term, I will have to have a planned C-section birth a few weeks early due to the weakening of the uterine wall.I know there are risks as with any surgery (blood loss, anesthesia issues, etc.). The possible complications for this specific surgery include infertilization, unexpected hysterectomy, excessive scar tissue, recurrence of the fibroids, etc. For me, my desire for a normal quality of life and my hope of having children both outweigh the risks. My questions are: (1) How long will this surgery take to recover (i.e., when may I walk and sleep without excruciating pain, return to the desk part of my job, exercise – cardio, situps)? My research says it takes 2-6 weeks to return to work, varying from person to person. I am healthy, relatively active, and have a fairly high tolerance of pain. Can anyone similar to me describe the approximate recovery time?(2) What other personal experience can you share (i.e., post-surgery pregnancy, infertilization, surgery complications, recurrence, pregnancy complications/miscarriage, etc.)?(3) If you did experience infertilization (not caused by unexpected hysterectomy), is In Vitro still an option?THANK YOU!!

A: Hi,I am not qualify to answer your question as I do not have personal experience with Fibroids. I recently did a research about fibroids for a friend of mine and found http://www.shrinkfibroids.net website, which is about personal experience. Perhaps you may find useful information.
