We can't gamble with kidney stones. There have to be guarantees. If you own a gun you are at risk of shooting yourself in the head to end the pain if you have a kidney stone.

>testicular torsion
NEVER EVER EVER LOOK THIS UP
t. lives in fear my entire life ever since I found out

>>19302716
People who are prone to kidney stones should definitely avoid vegetables high in oxalic acid, like spinach and rhubarb.

>pregnancy is a paper cut in experience
you’ve never experienced pregnancy retard

It can take MONTHS to pass a kidney stone
MONTHS where you are in unimaginable pain 24 hours of the day

>NOOOOO A ROCK CAME OUT MY PEEPEE AND I’M TOTALLY FINE NOW BUT IT HURT I’M GOING INSAAAAAAANE
it’s just pain you fag, just pass the kidney stone and get on with your life, pain is easy when you know it’s not something that’s going to cripple you for the rest of your life like getting a limb ripped off or something

>>19302716

Anon when a lot of women give birth their vagina and sphincter tear to form one massive hole...

There's a reason 50% of women died in child birth before modern medicine.

>>19302734
women have said cluster headaches are worse than that

>>19302798
So just like an extra girthy shit.

>>19302716
i snapped my femur and didnt really feel any pain because of the adrenaline, PT hurt worse

>>19302721
Can confirm, It was 4 or 5 days of pure agony. I barely slept, was hallucinating by the end. I fantasized about blowing my brains out multiple times. Wish there was some foolproof method to guarantee they never happen again. I would choke down the most vile food if I knew it could prevent them.

>>19302798

Water.

>>19302821
>4 or 5 days of pure agony
good lord... I thought those stones passed in a couple hours. Just go to the ER mate, they have ultrasounds lithotripsy or some shit to break it up in to smaller pieces.

nah they don't surprisingly enough

50% is obviously grossly exaggerated, but it was definitely far from zero. not to mention all the complications that can happen with the infant.

people take modern medicine for granted WAY too much

just shows how fucking pathetic human beings are. most animals, the baby just plop right out effortlessly. A couple hours later mom gets right back up with the baby already ready to walk. we, disgusting dumb fuck primates need "modern medicine" just to not die at birth.

>>19302716
I've had one and it wasn't THAT bad. What people don't realize is that the painful part isn't when it comes out of your dick, it's when it gets stuck in the tube between the kidney and the bladder and causes water to back up and expand your kidney. That part hurts a lot and you basically have to just lay in the fetal position until it works itself out. Peeing it out is just a sharp little jolt. The ones that are too big to pee out don't come out anyway, you have to break them up.

>>19302731
You're right, you just need to drink water, and not sugary things which dehydrate you.

>>19302716
pancreatitis is worse than kidney stones, and women have told me it's worse than childbirth

I think it varies from person to person as to how painful it is. Not just someones personal pain tolerance but also the size of the stone etcetc. I worked ems for some years when I was younger and Ive transported some people with them, one guy was ok as long as he sat extremely still the whole time and another was in the fetal position and every bump in the ambulance was agony.

Id say it happens alot with people who dont drink enough water on a daily basis and they are usually the same people that substitute it with soda and energy drinks all day every day. Ive also heard that sometimes too much calcium in a diet. But then again, my best advice, dont eat goyslop and gargle soda every day. Drink water

>>19302865
You have a pancreatic disorder. Drink a lot?

>>19302865
Did you have your gallbladder checked? My ex had issues with hers sometimes and it usually felt like a dibilitating stomach ache

>>19302896
Became a father last year, the w*man took the epidural after experiencing "moderate" pain from two contractions and stayed so high they had to cut her dose down to barely anything in order for her to feel the muscles the doctors were telling her to push. If you feel anything during labor/birth you clearly didn't accept the drugs. According to her, the single stitch she had to have afterwards hurt more in recovery than the whole delivery. No idea about the femur though I don't hang out with people with weak bones.

>>19302927
imagine a centimeter or larger sized kidney stone going through the tube between the kidney and bladder
imagine that coming out your dick hole

>>19302981
I don’t get enough water and I pee in a cup and I see the urea building up in the bottom of the cup and I know I must drink more water

>>19302727
I get that semi regularly.
It's uncomfortable but not terrible, I just twist it back until it feels right again

>>19302727
Almost got it when I was 14 riding my bike from 7/11. Balls hurt for a month. But fine now. Sorry tmi but you mentioned it. Couldn't eat well for a week because of pain.

>>19302727
I've had testicular torsion after sex. Be very careful the kind of gal you let on top, fellas.

>>19302851
>I'm a murrican can't afford a hospital visit.
confirmed for either (a) not being American or (b) being a massive fucking retard

I've been drinking cranberry juice semi-regularly for a decade because I was told it prevents kidney stones.
I was about to mention it in this thread but figured I should provide a link to back it up and I find this fucking shit:
>Cranberry juice has been thought to help with kidney stones, but research suggests that it may actually increase kidney stones formation — especially calcium oxalate stones, which are the most common kidney stones.
Am I a goner, anons? I'm 30 and haven't had any yet, are they all just building up and waiting to run a train out my urethra?

>>19303053
They still send you a bill for using the ER, if you ignore it that goes on your credit report.

>>19303061
Same, found that info in the last kidney stone thread. Pretty dumb how much bullshit gets spread around that people just commonly believe.
Fucking big cranberry out there killing us for profit.

>>19302929
how can something that's 99% water dehydrate you? go drink a 2l of root beer and try not to pee.

>>19303061
Just drink water. Find out how much you need to be drinking and track your intake to make sure.

>>19303067
>if you ignore it that goes on your credit report.
and? Literally fuck every hospital and fuck every ER employee. They can dance and twirk on my dick. I'm not paying them shit and if those "heroes" give me anything less tan immaculate treatment (that I do not intend to pay for) I'm suing the shit out of them.

>>19302846

get a job and get health insurance, dumbass

>>19303077
>and get health insurance
counterproposal: no

>>19302718
>don't drink sodas and other sugary drink crap and you'll likely be fine
I don't think this is true since I'm almost 50 and drank crap like that for the first 40 years of my life and never had a kidney stone. But I knew people who got them in their 20's and ate healthy. I think it's genetic.

>>19302857
>you know you can get oxys for this right?
lol they don't do that anymore. If you get kidney stones nowadays, yer gonna SUFFER.

>>19302728
Beat me to it. It's not about what you should eat, but what you should avoid.

>>19302752
>>19302798
Women have lower pain tolerance. If a woman says something was 10/10 pain, it's a 7/10 to a man.

>>19302752
if men could give birth we'd be better at it

>>19303047
>not terrible
You can literally get the blood supply cut off leading to having to amputate if you don't fix it within hours.

>>19302821
What the fuck

>>19303165
Quite literally the opposite. Women have higher pain tolerance because they're intended to get fucking pregnant.

>>19303253
they also like being choked and slapped during sex

>>19303146
No.
I’ve been through about 4-5 bouts with them over the years, various treatments.
If you have history with them and show up at ER, you’ll get Dilaudid via IV (makes you understand why people would suck dick behind 7-11 for it) stuff is wonderful. If you don’t pass while there, you’ll get a 3/4 day (maybe 20 pills) of Oxycodone, probably 5/325’s, if you’re lucky 10/325’s and you’ll be setup with a referral to urologist.

>>19303266
So do a lot of guys.

are kidney stones something that slowly build up over time and never go away until they build up enough to pass, or are they something that you can regularly break down and flush out by purging yourself with lots of water?

Hysterical Reddit webMD "doctors" tried telling me that extended fasting would cause kidney stones. I fasted having nothing but water for 10 days just to see what would happen. I got one thing that I'm not sure if it was a kidney stone but it looked like a little blood clot that came out of my dick, like similar to when you blow your nose after having a nosebleed. However, it didn't hurt.

>>19303274
i don't know.

False

>>19303275
gross

>>19303275
>However, it didn't hurt.
I think that might still mean something is wrong. It would take longer than 10 days to build up a kidney stone though.

>>19303274
I'm pretty sure miniscule kidney stones are always forming and being flushed out. It's only when you've created certain conditions where the components of it are concentrated for a prolonged period of time that it gets big enough to not flush out quickly and remains until it eventually gets stuck in your ureter.

>>19302716
>>19302718
>>19303141
They are caused by the buildup of particularly calcium and sodium, glucose plays a role too. The key is to plenty of water, especially while eating or exposing yourself to the risk of dehydration to dilute the materials that would make up stones. Water, water, and more water, and then pee it out. It's all in the dissolution process.
Stones may seem like a horrible thing, but you don't have to subject yourself to them, same as you don't have to subject yourself to heart disease caused by obesity, COPD/lung cancer caused by smoking, and liver disease/pancreatitis caused by drinking.

If you want foods to avoid, be mindful of your electrolyte intake, calcium and sodium intake, and be particularly weary of sports drinks. Don't be outside be active all day and think you need to chug Gatorade or Pedialyte to replenish yourself and neglect water entirely. That's the fastest way to get a stone. Again, when in doubt just drink more water. Avoid situations that put you at risk for dehydration.

I had a kidney stone once but looking back on it, it's almost comical how I did pretty much everything you shouldn't do if you don't want a kidney stone

>started in the summer where I'd spend a lot of time sweating outside in the sun
>the only liquid I drank most days was tea in the afternoon
>started incorporating a bunch of minimally cooked swiss chard into my diet because a Whole Foods opened up nearby and it seemed healthy and exotic to me
>I also happened to get my hands on a free case of bananas, which I peeled and put in the freezer and every day I'd eat a ton of frozen bananas rolled in lots of cocoa powder
By the end of summer I had bad abdominal pains and eventually went to the ER in an ambulance and was told I had a kidney stone, about 4mm. After that it passed easily. Never had one again, 8 years on or so.

>>19302716
>the most excruciatingly painful natural thing that any human can experience
lmao. i've had eight or nine in the past four years. this is a joke. pussies.

>>19303315
say that to guys who have had quarter sized stones

>>19303306
>chug Gatorade or Pedialyte to replenish yourself and neglect water entirely
Gatorade is 99.99% water.

>>19302851
>>19303053
you can show up to the ER and they have to treat you, regardless of if you can pay them and there.

Every women I've known that has given birth AND passed a kidney stone said they'd rather shit out a kid every morning than deal with that again. And guess what? They're even worse for men
Pic related, I'd shit out a pineapple while chewing hot coals before I piss one of these out again. Don't even get me started on it leaving my kidney..

>>19303267
but you're ruining the fear mongering. drinking water preventatively and getting opioids reactively puts people's mind at ease

>>19303330
what happened

should one avoid tums/calcium carbonate tablets?
i used to eat them when i had indigestion, then i peed white/cloudy a couple of times. never happened again since.

>>19303332
i don't own a phone because the government has been proven to spy on people using them
the ER isn't an option for me and even if it was, you will be in immense pain before the painkillers, and even on them it won't do you any good

>>19303333
Checked. Akin to be sodomized by a bear from the inside out, through my dick.
The endorphin rush peaked right when it passed and I felt fucked up for a solid half hour afterwards, so that was nice. Didn't really offset the numbed and sore penis though

>>19303146
Then buy some illegally and keep it stocked.

So do these mass up in your body over time and can't be reversed or can your kidneys slowly peck away at them before they becomes problem?

>>19303345
It leaving the kidney is the worst lower back pain imaginable, makes a slipped disk feel like a tickle. Made my balls ache and no position was comfortable. Just curling and writhing around while breathing through my teeth for a half hour. The first time it happened I went to the hospital (idk what the fuck was going on) and they gave me IV tremadol(?) which helped quite abit. I toughed that one out because as luck would have it, my mother was currently in the proccess of dying while in hospice as soon as I started to feel it.

>>19303306
Drink more water buddeh.
>>19303320
Especially you, good lord.

>>19302716
>don't have too much of anything
>don't have too little of anything
>drink lots of water
guaranteed to be stone free

>>19303353
it can be months or weeks depending on your diet and hydration. you should really just eat normal food, in normal portions, and drink water

>>19303354
Damn that sounds like a horrible situation to go through. Are you doing okay now?

>>19303361
Science is scary but at some point you have to learn to face reality. I'll let you in on a little secret, soda is 99% water too. There's also tons of water hiding inside our bodies. That crazy substance is almost everywhere. Wild I know but I'm telling the truth.

>>19303306
Kidney stones can be caused by dehydration and excess intake, sure, but they can also actually be caused too much water and not enough intake of calcium or minerals. Urine is designed to break down the crystals that form stones, and too much water dilutes the urine and prevents this function from occuring, and a nutrient deficit means the proper urine solution can't be produced, resulting in stones.

>>19303374
Yeah I was fine the second it passed, that was back in november I believe. Took about two weeks for it to start to exit my bladder and then ~20 minutes for it to actually exit. The one before that was 6+ years ago, and I only felt it leaving my the kidney. I pissed into a screen for a month and didn't even notice it, it was maybe a quarter of that size.

>>19303377
And I'm telling you that you should drink more water. What don't you understand about that? Like pulling teeth out here...

>>19303380
>caused by not enough water and too much water
>caused by too much minerals and not enough minerals
so wtf do we do? are we all screwed?

it was over before it even began

>>19303267
That's cute that you think this is still true in the year of our lord 2023. The new crop of doctors in residency has been thoroughly propagandized against prescribing "addictive" medications as are all ER/urgent care docs and indeed the prescribing guidelines changed radically a few years ago. They might administer 2mg of morphine while you're checked in, but you'll go home with instructions to take tylenol and motrin or *maybe* a short script for tramadol (if they are convinced you're in severe pain and don't want to risk being brought up before an ethics committee for not treating it).

>>19302798
Hot take: child birth is easy but women are such incompetent coddled infants that trade in victimization that they would rather tear their vagina to their asshole than do it right

>>19303388
maybe we should force stones to form and get it over with

This thread is full of people high in trait neuroticism. Even if they manage to reassure themselves here they'll start panicking about how little bats could bite them at night without them noticing and give them dormant rabies so they begin experiencing symptoms and cant get the antidote.

>>19303382
Glad to hear you're okay now. Having to go through that plus your mom being in hospice just seems really rough.

>>19303391
It's a hot take because it's wrong.

>>19302716
Just active your sage mode Rinnegan and power through it

>>19303393
it's not a one time event
they can keep forming over and over throughout your life

>>19303397
Maybe a lot of younger people who are just starting to understand how you can suddenly be in agony or die and trying to come to terms with that.

>>19303274
Your kidneys are basically the filters of the body, and the stones are from mineral sediment buildup at those filter sites. So long as you are consistently hydrated, you should have the minimal concentrations required to prevent them, but being dehydrated allows the stones to form at nucleation sites due to higher concentrations of minerals in the urea. There are medical risk charts that outline the different types of stones and their associated risk factors. The most common ones are calcium based (oxalate or phosphate), hence the avoidance chart higher up in the thread.

Basically avoid shit that gives you diabetus, gout, or other fatfuck problems and you'll be fine. And not be a dude.

>>19303405
let's just remove our kidneys then

>>19303402
Nah there is actually a feminist that had this take in the 70s before any incels.

>now 1 kidney has to filter 2 kidney's worth of liquid all the time
>double the kidney stones going through one kidney
WE'RE FUCK

>>19303419
so this is then? we're just waiting for the inevitable?

>>19303428
You have to take them both out in one shot, that's the only way to guarantee no more stones can come back.

>>19303399
Thanks anon. Yeah it was pretty shit, there were nurses and my sister was there so thank God. I'd had maybe 2 hours of sleep in the past 40+ hours and right before we start giving her the morphine OD concoction I felt it, just a cluster of "fuck me"s lmao.
Pain was enough to make me puke a few times, its sort of like being kicked in the balls but a slower onset of pain with a greater peak, and concentrated towards the back/lower spine and sides (kidney location, duh kek) rather than the stomach.

>>19303397
>at night without them noticing and give them dormant rabies so they begin experiencing symptoms and cant get the antidote.
why the fuck did you have to say that? i go out drunk at night and this couldve happened to me without me noticing. fuck

>>19302774
>>19302752

>>19303437
Maybe don't go out drunk at night? I don't go out at night at all for other reasons. Humans are meant to be in our caves when it's dark, you can't farm or hunt at night. Also, alcoholism causes kidney stones too, among other horrible things like pancreatitis and organ damage.

>>19303397
I wash my hands constantly every day.

It's like people on here don't even know how to be a functional person. These are habits you're taught as a child that have been passed down for generations precisely because obeying them prevents death and illness.

>>19303434
>right before we start giving her the morphine OD concoction I felt it, just a cluster of "fuck me"s lmao.
It's weird how the timing for things like that can happen. I went through something similar with a relative, and I get frequent headaches that make me want to puke because they hurt so bad. But I didn't have any for a while until it was over too.

>>19303417
the correlation between multivitamins and kidney stones is negligible. you just want to be careful of vitamin C. multivitamins are designed as supplements, not replacements, so its not going to be an excessive amount

>>19302716
Can someone tell me what's the point of having pain receptors inside of our body when if something is harming or invading our interior it's going to be incredibly obvious? It just doesn't seem evolutionarily beneficial.

>>19303488
good warning for disease, infection, parasite

>>19303462
>>Stay hydrated
I drink a lot of water on my days off but I am not allowed to be hydrated at work because I only get one single lunch break to drink water on during my 10 hour shift. I'm not allowed to use the bathroom or get water the entire time until the break and every night my piss stinks horribly.

>>19303073
go drink 2l of water and try not to pee
??
what a stupid post

Drink 100oz per day. Don't be one of those retards that carries around a jug. Track it with an app. You'll be fine.

>>19303488
Maybe it just makes us more likely to be extra protective of vital organs. Without the pain receptors there we might be more likely to instinctually leave a vital area exposed.

While I've never had a kidney stone, try waking up in the middle of an amputation. That was no fucking picnic for me, I assure you.

>>19303752
only if it was a surprise amputation from a accident where you knocked out and don't remember

>>19303612
I don't think you need an app. It's a biological instinct to just drink something when you need it.

That stuff about everyone being dehydrated is probably from people getting used to only drinking super sugary drinks. So they have to wait until they're thirsty, AND craving a ton of sugar to drink something. If you're used to just drinking water then you probably don't have to worry about anything.

>>19303752
>try waking up in the middle of an amputation
waking up into a nightmare holy shit

>>19302896
Saw an interview somewhere sometime way back when with a woman who lost an eye in some accident and said it was far more painful than childbirth

i find shit like this is just not talked about enough anywhere. it's almost like because we live in the society we do where modern medicine can take care of A LOT of ailments that used to plague humanity in the past, that we're now fine for everything. but it's just not true. we're still fucking sacks of flesh that are subject to the forces of thermodynamics and nature. people's hearts just stopping due to some unknown condition is still a thing. brain aneurysms are a thing. you feel extreme pain in your temples for 10 minutes and then you're dead.

it's scary shit man

maybe bring that down to once/week (it's what i do). if you eat a good enough diet, you don't need it. the guy that invented multivitamins in the 20th century was basically a snake oil salesman. there's many minerals/elements in one that we don't need daily doses of. i also remember reading something of a study years ago saying those who took it daily had higher risks of some cancers but i don't know if it was perfect nor do i remember much of it

The willfully obstinate retard is a perennial troll on 4troons.
Yes, water,water and MOAR water.
The only caveat here is the QUALITY of water is important too. Distilled is usually $1 a gallon. I usually drink R.O. water, but for this I'd throw $20 for ten days of 2 gallons a day and pissing clear all day long.
I've had them. It felt like I had cracked my spine at the top of my lumbar/bottom of my thoracic. That's what I get for allowing myself to go hours without drinking anything after downing a pot of coffee.
I didn't even drink distilled; just copious amounts of R.O.
I'd think that tap,(God forbid,) or sugary drinks and coffee could make it worse.
I also knew a guy who had the ultrasound treatment for them...he said it made it even worse.
Imagine pissing out shards of shattered crystals.

No, they're punctuation.

I still dont understand people aversion to just drinking water this day and age when we have access to it everywhere and its clean. I ran into lots of people in the Army ( pretty much all younger dudes) who refused to drink water because they thought it tasted gross or whatever and only ever drank energy drinks, soda, gatorade,tea,coffee all usually loaded with sugar. These were also they guys that would end up having related injuries during training.

I get in the ye olde days when water couldnt be trusted to be safe and thats why people drank beer or mead instead. But im also pretty sure most beer back in the day didnt have as much crap in it as it does now. I for one think a refreshing glass of water when you are thirsty is delicious. Its almost like your body is telling you what it needs..go figure..

>>19304251

That was pretty much only in the cities.

It was and still is the case pretty much everywhere. Man-made contamination is just one thing that might cause water to be unsafe to drink. Unless you're treating water (such as by turning it into beer or boiling it and making tea) or have it tested (which is pretty much only viable in case of wells since if you're taking water from a stream you can't really protect the surface from contamination) you're pretty much always rolling the dice to see whether it makes you sick.

My parents have both had kidney stones, and the doctors told them to drink water with lemon juice to prevent from forming more. Meanwhile I've been sipping white Monster Zero Ultra almost every day for the past five years and haven't had any kek

>>19304251
A lot of people grow up in places where the municipal water supply tastes like shit, so they have an aversion to drinking plain water that isn't bottled. I actually live in a city with very clean water, so I drink from the tap all the time.

>>19303253
This is not true, they have a much lower pain threshold and physiological pain tolerance (precisely because they get pregnant)
Not to mention near zero psychological pain tolerance
In fact opiods even work differently on women and blacks, causing semi permenant hyperalgesia, to the point that what amounts to a hard touch is felt as painful. Actually sheds a lot of light on why blacks CANT BREEEEEEVE when subject to a small superficial injury

Women have said some things are more painful than birth but never severe constipation, though many have experienced both.
Also, not every woman actually feels the same level of pain from birth (even if both have no meds/the same meds). Heck the pain of birth can change for the same woman whose had multiple kids, and it doesn't always get easier, sometimes a later birth is actually more painful. There's just too many factors

>>19302766
Kidney stones can have varying pain levels, you can pass smaller ones and be alright without any meds. The super larger ones are killer

>>19303047
>I just twist it back
The one time I woke at 4am because my ball hurt, I did exactly that, 'cause duh, I can rotate a ball & it can't be worse. I manage to lower the pain to only concerning-owie-when-I'm-doing-anything.
Then I went to the balls-doctor. Apparently I unfucked myself too quick for him to find any symptom, I guess he thought I was drug-seeking.
Had moderate pain when walking/fapping for a couple months.

>>19303013
I got an epidural for the first kid and had nothing for the second.
The doc screwed up the epidural 3 times before it worked, they also gave me some drugs to help me sleep that didn't do anything except make me unable to speak properly despite remaining lucid.

First go around was psychologically hellish. I didn't really feel anything during the birth, but the whole experience was mental torment and freaking out from the meds screwing with my brain. Baby swallowed meconium and had to go to the NICU (later learned from an OBGYN textbook this is a common complication of epidurals).

2nd time around no meds - yea it hurt much much worse. However, it was actually easier to handle mentally. I had control of myself and full lucidity. It was actually a rewarding experience over all and I didn't hate everything, and baby was fine. It's very painful, but labor and birthing pain is "productive." It has a good purpose and isnt purely a sign of injury. Despite handling the more intense pain of labor I'm still whiney about normal lower level pain, because that pain means injury and feels useless and just bad.

>>19303165
People have used pain inducing machines to demonstrate the opposite. From about 12 years old onward women just get used to being in pain for a week each month.

>>19303330
How many women do you know that have given birth and had kidney stones? Did these women get drugs and an epidural for the birth, because if so it literally stops working as a comparison. You'd also feel nothing if docs gave you an epidural for a kidney stone.

You can break them down over time with things like lemon juice and vinegar (ACV). You can also prevent them from forming entirely by staying well hydrated. Fasting can also demineralize them, but you must know how to do it properly.

does drinking freshly squeezed lemonade count?

Which will destroy your kidneys if you're relying on that to take care of your problem. It's best to learn how you can prevent and dissolve them yourself, so you don't need to pay a doctor to ravage your kidneys.

This. My gf had chronic kidney stones and eventually had to get the ultrasound procedure done. It also involves an ureteroscopy to remove all the little shards of stones so they won't damage your urethra on the way out, so it's not a fun time.

I've had a kidney stone. Its pretty rough, but not as bad as people make it out to be.

>>19303274
They do form slowly over time, and will keep happening unless you change your diet to combat them. Flushing your body with water and proper dieting prevents them from building up and becoming actually noticeable. If you have had them before, you can get a sort of ultrasound done to check for more of them and they actually have sonic wave devices that can break them up.

>>19305306
Kidney stones vary in severity.

>>19302728

That's not the only cause, though. There are four different types of kidney stones. One of them is caused by eating excessive protein. Another is those oxalates. I don't remember the other two.

>>19302821
>Wish there was some foolproof method to guarantee they never happen again.
Easy-peasey! Just donate your kidneys to some fat old diabetic Israeli. He'll pay you good shekels for them and you can go home kidneyless.

>>19302846
>Just go to the ER mate, they have ultrasounds lithotripsy
They only do that in extreme cases, like stones that are too large to be passed out normally. Even then, all that does is break up one huge stone into dozens of tiny chunks, ALL OF WHICH HAVE TO COME OUT YOUR URETHRA.

>>19305696
kidney stones are alkaline in nature. actual acids (not just acidic food) help break them down. simple as

>>19305696
Excess vitamin C gets turned into oxalic acid, which binds with calcium to form most common kidney stones

>>19306136
wtf guess I'm going to get scurvy now

>>19306166
I said excess vitamin C, and even then it's unlikely that it'll actually lead to a kidney stone. I'm just saying what the mechanism would be in theory.

>>19302916

as the other guy mentioned its about the big head but also labor being shitty and women needing help with it is a selected for trait in prehistory, as it means only women that have a group of individuals that support each other will likely survive. Kinda cool, but I think its part of what bred women into being so stupid, people pleasing, and reliant on group consensus.

>>19303451
wait dont yall do this?

>>19302727
I thought a couple of years ago I thought I had it, but really instead I just had a testicular tube infection, usually what's considered an STI because it was summer and I wasn't washing my underwear enough. I was given an injection and put on antibiotics to get over it, it was one of the most physically painful experiences of my life. So uh yeah, wash your hands before you jerk off and change into fresh underwear more, especially in hot weather.

>There's a reason 50% of women died in child birth before modern medicine.
No, that happened because physicians and nurses were oblivious to infections transmitted by microbes and viruses and didn't care to do proper hygiene when delivering the baby

I had chronic kidney stones for like four or five months. It fucking sucked but it the stones were small thank God. I used chanca piedra or "stone breaker" which helped me pass them. I think it flushed the out which is why I had them for so long. Feeling way better now and may start another course of the pills I have just to make sure I've cleaned myself out. Friends recommended this to me and also beer. I don't drink a lot of beer but I'm about to start.

Drinking is the best solution for all of these problems. A couple beers every night makes the pain go away and loosens everything up. Never took more than a few days to pass one.
The small tick of a sinus infection drying and flaking inside your head was second only to a drill directly on my tooth nerve.
Pretty sure I'm indestructible now.

I got one when I was 10, it sucked but in hindsight the pain wasn’t dare I say that bad. For a 10 year old maybe, but it wouldn’t be as bad as a pregnancy I don’t think.

I couldn’t even pee mine out, it got stuck in the opening of my urethra because of how big and spiky it was. Had to get my urethral opening sliced open to get it out. Now THAT hurt.

>>19302798
>50% of women died in childbirth
it was 5% of first-time mothers who died in childbirth before the 20th century roughly
the more children you had, the less likely it was you'd die in childbirth, but playing Russian roulette with a 1/20 chance of dying is not exactly good, and when you're dealing with numbers in the tens of billions (over all of history that is) you get a shitload of women dying in childbirth

>>19302727
I woke up one day and had mild pain in my right ball, I went to try and twist it back but I couldn't tell which way it was supposed to go back. One hour later I decided to go to the hospital, and after doing an ultrasound I was rushed into the ER for same day surgery.
Only upside is my ball was in pain but wasn't suffocated so I still have both balls, and they stitch your balls in place so they can't rotate anymore, so it's "basically impossible" for them to twist again outside of an extreme condition.
I'm an Amerifag so the bill was $5,000 with insurance ($9,000 without insurance).

Just drink water. Sometimes I'll add an ounce of lemon juice to it, or do a shot of apple cider vinegar to keep my piss nice and acidic.

I had one in the beginning of the year. It took so fucking long to detach.I entered the hospital and got my diagnostic on Jan 10, it finally exited on Feb 27. I was just about to get a refill on my prescription. I have high pain treshold, so what I felt was just the constant need to pee. It was really painful at time though. My clients probably thought I was going through withdrawal, lol. Didn't feel a think when it came out though. I was surprised to see it pop through when actually going pissing (not just a spasm). I hope I never get that shit again. I had already taken resolutions at the beginning of the year to drink more water and stop drinking energy drink. I've drank maybe 10 since Jan 1st instead of one or two every other day.

>>19306914

>>19305543
>implying those are the only two options
You utterly fail at implications. The alternative to credit scores and medical bills generally incurred under duress where both parties are compelled to disregard ability/likelihood to pay is not locking the debtor up. If you think that's anywhere in the realm of possiblity in the USA you should go rack-up a hefty hospital bill getting a brain scan.

And nobody said anything about a fucking lawyer taking the case (which lots would, just not on contingency, but that's besides the point).

>>19306939
It's not that they're fragile (which they kinda are), it's more that they're not designed to do the things that cause testicular torsion. Rough sex can cause it or if you're a retard and exercise weird.

>>19303165
All replies are retarded. On a typical day, women have a lower pain tolerance than men. During labor/childbirth, their pain tolerance skyrockets and they can tolerate a hole that typically stretches to the diameter of a golf ball going to that of a grapefruit.

I've heard lemon water is good for kidney health, maybe that helps. I drink 64 oz of it every day at work so I'm hoping I'm safe. My cock is not for passing anything solid

Drink less sugary drinks, add juices to your diet and stay hydrated. Had kidney stones years ago, but also only drank soda and energy drinks like a retard. Now I quit drinking soda regularly and drink aloe water, fruit juices and teas. Also eat oranges and mandarins frequently as well as apples, kiwi, strawberries and pears.

The whole notion that greens like spinach are high in calcium is based on a typo
The only foods that have high levels of bioavailable calcium are meats

I thought that was iron with spinach, not calcium. Also what about the calcium in dairy?

>>19309347
Oh, you're right that is iron
But yeah plant calcium is hard to digest

They are high in iron and calcium though, and crucially for iron, our body is able to regulate the amount it absorbs. You can absorb more iron from red meat in the form of heme because there's no mechanism to stop it when you've had enough, which is one of the reasons red meat and iron in the form of heme are associated with increased risk of colon cancer.

Looking back I wonder if I had a kidney stone when I was like 10. I remember the overwhelming urge to pee to the point I literally could not hold it for like maybe and hour. I noticed my urine was a little bloody and what looked like a kind of lump of clotted blood came out and after I felt ok. I was home alone when it happened and I never told anyone lol

No, tooth pain has nothing on kidney stones
I collapsed on the floor of a gas station on the US Mexico border passing a kidney stone
I thought I got stabbed in the back
But I passed out from the pain of pancreatitis (car accident) a number of times and forgot how to speak in English
Mind you I've been speaking English since I was about 5, you wouldn't know I was ESL unless I told you
Thank Christ they had an African doc there to translate for me
I thought he was a janitor, turns out he was chief of medicine
So a real fucking Nigerian, not some bullshit scrub

>you know you can get oxys for this right? had a friend of a friend back in school that had a stone. he just got like 2 months of oxys prescribed to him and he was, for the most part, ok

Maybe in like 2009. I'm in the medical field, painkillers are not prescribed unless the injury is very severe. Even things like fractured and broken bones get ibuprofen 600mg. Junkies ruined everything

>>19310087
Yeah its not very common any more. I broke my ankle in 2012 and my provider had me swimming in oxycodone. I honestly didnt need it except every now and then, but nowadays its Ibuprofen 800mg and drink water. There might be some providers out there who still dont give a fuck but they might not be the ones you are gonna want as your Doc lol

Highest birth death rate never passed 10%.. Most maternal deaths happened because doctors back then were ratrded and didnt wash their hands.

>One of them is caused by eating excessive protein
That doesnt sound right as high protein has no effect an a healthy kidney. cystinuria is amino acid based recssive disorder which may be the confusion. in this GENETIC disorder, a low protein diet is recommended.

>>19310087
Thats fucking bullshit. I have a high tolerance to pk's so every time they give me stuff its never enough. Why the fuck are they afraid to prescribe it? They dont have to give you refills

>>19310201
It's not because of junkies like the other anon said. They stopped prescribing painkillers because of people suing them for getting addicted. The industry decided "fuck getting sued, enjoy the pain then faggots".

It wasn’t that bad

Part 2 and this are the most relevant for prevention

>>19302718
>>19302731
The sugar part is largely irrelevant for kidney stones but many sodas like cola contain phosphoric acid which is a large contributor to kidney stones. Also watch your salt intake and drink plenty of water to dilute your urine.

>t. fellow kidney stone phobia haver

>>19303061
Every time I have had a kidney stone they really only mention dehydration. That why's kidney stones cases happen more in the hot months.
Increase water intake and electrolytes if you were only drinking water before. Make sure you take Vit d because if it gets too low it can cause kidney issues.

>>19303334
Calcium isn't the most common ones I believe so unlikely to be an issue. If you have chronic heart burn though speak to a doctor to check for gerd which increases your cancer risk.

>>19306304
this happened to me a month ago. very painful to go through

>>19310391
the high protein as a risk factor is still misleading for reasons i outlined above

>>19302716
One of my coworkers is from Afghanistan and said a lot of the people in his village would get kidney stones. Said it was terrible cause they would howl with pain for days, but they had little in the way of pain killers (or alcohol kek).
Not much they could do either, since their wells had a bunch of minerals in it so they were pretty much drinking the exact shit that caused kidney stones to form.
Sounds like hell, desu

They stopped prescribing it because the DEA sees every single prescription they write, and if their brainless algorithm decides it is excessive they will raid the doctor like he was a cartel member. This is all under the guise of "preventing diversion" (stopping legit pain meds from being sold on the street).

It has nothing to do with being sued by addicts, it has to do with extreme pressure from the feds who are totally incompetent at preventing literal tons of heroin, fentanyl, methamphetamine from being smuggled over the border, so they target something they can easily control - actual doctors and pharmaceutical companies. This of course does zero to stop the "opioid crisis" (and in fact exacerbates it because pain patients will turn to illegal sources for relief).

my teeth are rotting. like, I probably have the worst dentition on 4chan (not proud of it, but I cant afford a dentist.) bad tooth pain sucks, but you can manage the pain with tylenol and stuff. If you take tylenol when you have a kidney stone, you're just making things worse. You get used to the pain at one point and stop feeling anything.

ah another case of the government only hurting law abiding citizens with regulation

Also confirming. I had a stone stuck for several days which was bookended by about 3 weeks of UTI. I would hyperventilate for 20 minutes until I passed out from that, be gifted 10-15 minutes of merciful unconsciousness then wake up and repeat. Writhing, screaming, choking and sweating was my life for several days for several days. My voice and tears were gone within hours but I kept crying and screaming. I shit in the shower because I couldn't bend to sit. Every piss was like a cable saw being pulled through me because the stone is a blockage and it's jagged, dug into whatever it's passing through, causing even more blockage through inflamation. It takes tremendous effort and even more pain to get out 1 drop, but there's so much more than that left to come out so it drags on and on.

I tried bashing my head against the wall in an attempt to knock myself out for awhile. I took thousands of mg of ibuprofen a day with zero effect. I went to the ER 4 times to beg for codeine shots, which helped for a few hours until they wore off. Every time they made me lie in the empty ER (3AM) for hours until they would administer it, leaving me to scream and kick things over. I had never thought about suicide before or after those weeks but I sure did during. I still have my stone but it's not appropriate to post a pic on /ck/.

I have to stifle laughter when women complain about birthing pain, or when people point to anything over a 3 on a pain chart.

Anyway, water OP.

So why are all these whores bitching about shitting babies out?

>>19312777
>why do women complain about things?

>>19312576

>I still have my stone but it's not appropriate to post a pic on /ck/.

Its a tiny mineral mineral deposit from your body. Its not inappropriate anywhere. Its actually inappropriate for you to say that its inappropriate.

My wife had our first in the hospital and second in our bedroom with a midwife. The second went much smoother, but no meds for either birth.
