Sign 3: Nausea and Vomiting
Nausea and vomiting are common symptoms associated with kidney stones in women. These symptoms can arise due to the intense pain caused by the kidney stone or as a result of the stone obstructing the urinary tract. The body may respond to this obstruction by attempting to expel the stone through vomiting.
In addition to the physical discomfort, nausea and vomiting can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances, complicating the situation further. It is essential to stay hydrated by consuming clear fluids, such as water or electrolyte replacement drinks, to help counteract these effects.
If nausea and vomiting become persistent or severe, it is crucial to seek medical attention. Anti-nausea medications may be prescribed to help manage these symptoms and improve your overall comfort.
It is important to note that other medical conditions can also cause nausea and vomiting. As such, these symptoms should not be solely attributed to kidney stones without proper medical evaluation. (3)
