Renal colic

A sudden pain caused by a kidney stone or stones in the ureter.


Sharp pain in the lower back radiating to the groin, usually associated with the passage of a calculus (stone) through the ureter.


Sudden, severe, sharp pain originating from the area of the back over the kidney, associated with spasms, due to presence of an embedded renal stone.


Intense pain spasms occurring unilaterally in the back and radiating to the groin, typically instigated by the movement of a kidney stone along the ureter (the conduit transporting urine from the kidney to the bladder). Additional symptoms may encompass nausea, vomiting, perspiration, and the presence of blood in the urine.


Typically, managing renal colic involves adopting bed rest and increasing fluid intake. Administering potent analgesic medications like diclofenac or pethidine through injections assists in alleviating the pain.
