Pain as during childbirth: urologist Zhuravsky told what to do with renal colic

If the size of the stone is large enough or its edges are sharp and hit the walls of the ureter, a terrible pain attack occurs. It is called renal colic. Not for anything that after an attack ends by moving a stone from the stream, people say that they “born” the stone. After all, the pain in intensity is very similar to labor pain, and it can last from several minutes to several days, forcing you to sleep and rest. Dmitry Zhuravsky, urologist-andrologist at the SM Clinic in St. Petersburg, told “Doctor Peter” what to do about it.
