Many times people who have kidney stones (stones or sand of bicarbonates, calcium and oxalates) suffer from an attack of colic.
This is extremely painful, even being considered more intense than labor pain.
Nephritic colic is located on the sides of the lumbar spine, in the back, and goes downwards, to the genital region.
It is generally caused because the stone in the kidney, renal pelvis or ureter does not allow the normal output of urine and, for this reason, it accumulates, forcing the muscles in the area to contract forcefully.
In addition to pain, other symptoms may also manifest such as:
Usually the obstruction is not complete and the person feels intermittent pain (which comes and goes) that will not end until the stone is removed.
However, it is important to know that this type of colic can also be caused by any other obstacle found in the course of the urinary tract, such as microcrystals, blood clots, ureteral kinks or flanges, renal ptosis, among others.

recommendations
Drink between 2 and 3 liters of water a day and even more if for some reason (heat, vomiting) a large amount of fluid is being lost. It is also necessary to verify the type of water that is consumed, since if you suffer from calcium oxalate stones, you should not drink water that contains this mineral.
Avoid coffee, tea and alcoholic beverages.
Prevent excessive consumption of foods rich in oxalatessuch as spinach purslanethe tomatoes and the beans.
Reduce or avoid consumption of animal productssuch as meats, eggs or fish, since they have high levels of calcium, thus helping the formation of kidney stones and, as they contain high levels of uric acid, they can also cause another type of stone.
Avoid excessive consumption of salty foods.
Go to the doctor if the pain is very strong and does not stop, since renal colic can often be confused with other diseases such as intestinal occlusion syndrome or appendicitis if it is located on the right side
