My side pain and burning urine made doctor mention possible stone. I never had this before and now pregnancy makes it more stressful. What can cause stones during this time?
Dehydration and certain mineral imbalances are common causes, and pregnancy can make u more prone. The safest prevention is plenty of fluids. For diagnosis and any pain, your gynac or a urologist should guide u.
Mostly it's not drinking enough water plus the body changes in pregnancy. Keep yourself well hydrated through the day. If u get sharp back or side pain with burning urine, get it checked fast.
My doctor said dehydration is a big trigger, and pregnancy changes also slow things down in the urinary tract which can cause stones. Drinking lots of water is the main prevention she stressed.
I had a stone in pregnancy and the pain was awful. They said low water intake was the main reason for me. If u suspect a stone, dont manage at home, the doctor needs to see u, especially with fever or bad pain.
