Kidney stones in boys do not necessarily hurt, because the pain caused by kidney stones is mainly due to the irritation of the mucous membrane of the urethra, for the location of the more stable, no obvious movement of the person does not cause pain.
Some male patients with kidney stones may not feel any discomfort, and they are only found to have kidney stones through ultrasound and other auxiliary examinations of the kidneys during health checkups. This is because the location of kidney stones is relatively fixed, and they will not move in daily life, and they will not irritate the mucous membranes of the urethra, and so they will not feel any pain.
Patients with asymptomatic kidney stones will be treated according to the condition of the stones. Smaller stones that do not cause urinary tract obstruction can be followed up and observed, while larger stones that cause urinary tract obstruction need to be seen by a doctor in a timely manner. When the stone moves, it often causes pain in the lower back and abdomen, some of which may radiate to the perineal area, and may be accompanied by hematuria, in which case timely consultation is required.
