Why kidney stones mostly hurt at night

Kidney stones mostly hurt at night may be caused by factors such as being more sensitive at night, sleeping position causing stones to move, and drinking less water at night.
1. More sensitive at night: Usually the pain caused by kidney stones has no obvious pattern and is not related to day and night. However, as the daytime is usually busy, it will distract part of the attention, while the night is quieter, the spirit will be re-focused on the pain, so it is felt that most of the kidney stones are painful at night.
2. Improper sleeping position: frequent turning over during the night, the stones are easy to move during the process of turning over, which may cause serious irritation and damage to the surrounding tissues, and it will lead to obvious pain at night.
3. Drinking less water at night: drinking less water at night and concentrating urine may lead to aggravation of urinary tract infection and make the pain more obvious.
If you have kidney stones, you should consult a doctor in time for an examination to clarify the location and size of the stones, and carry out the appropriate lithotripsy treatment under the guidance of the doctor to avoid causing serious complications.
