Expert: Stephen W. Leslie, MD - 11/7/2009

Question
my boyfriend is 19 and was told he had a kidney stone. since that day he has peed some blood and still has pain on his left side, but he recently started having pain in his left testical, is that normal. what should he do?

Answer
Ashley:

Pain from a kidney stone can radiate into the testicle depending on where the stone is. He should follow the advice of his physicians. In general, a small stone is usually allowed to pass with some pain medicine and maybe an antibiotic. He should followup with his primary physician or consult a urologist.

If his pain gets worse or he has a new fever, he should go back to the ER.
