Frequent Urination

Are you going to the bathroom more often than usual and get the urge all of a sudden? That is another sign that a kidney stone has moved into the lower part of the urinary tract. This frequent urination is one of the earliest symptoms you may notice. Even if you aren’t drinking a lot of fluid, you will be running to the bathroom more often.

This can often be confused for a urinary tract infection. For men, it is important not to ignore this. Not only are men more at risk of getting kidney stones, but they are also at risk of prostrate issues. Coincidentally, frequent urination is a common symptom connecting kidney stones, UTIs, and prostrate problems.

Do not overlook frequent urination. It’s a nuisance and also a huge red flag.
