    Kidney stones usually don’t cause many symptoms when they remain in the kidney, however they may cause intermittent flank pain, blood in the urine (haematuria) or urinary tract infections.

    When the stones pass into the ureter they can cause severe flank pain that can radiate to the groin region or scrotum in males. This pain is often described as some of the most severe people experience.

    Other symptoms may include:
    Blood in urine (haematuria)
    Infection: fever, burning of urine
    Nausea & vomiting
