點擊數: 755
Pain is caused by a sudden blockage in the urinary tract, resulting in a sudden sharp and severe flank or lower abdominal pain and may radiate to the groin. There may be a feeling of constant need to urinate or difficulty voiding.
Severe pain may also induce nausea, vomiting, paleness of skin, cold sweating.
If there is no contraindication, drink at least 3000 to 4000mL of water (approximately 8 glasses) to increase urine amount and to reduce urine concentration.
Go to the bathroom at least every two hours. Do not hold the urge to urinate.
Take medicine as instructed by the physician and follow-up as scheduled.
If there is persistent severe pain despite pain killers, high fever, changes in the location of the abdominal pain, return to the hospital as soon as possible.
