If you have a kidney infection or stones can it feel like your lower sides hurt uterus hurts?

It is possible for kidney infections or kidney stones to cause pain in the lower sides and uterus/lower belly area. Here are some details:

Kidney Infection (Pyelonephritis)

- Kidney infections usually cause pain in the back or side, just below the ribs (costovertebral angle pain). However, the infection can also lead to pain in the front of the body, including the lower sides and uterus area.

- Other symptoms of a kidney infection may include fever, chills, flank pain, cloudy or foul-smelling urine, frequent urination, low back pain, pain during urination, nausea, and vomiting.

Kidney Stones

- Kidney stones can lodge in the ureter and block the flow of urine. This can cause severe pain in the side and back, usually radiating to the lower abdomen and sometimes described as uterine pain.

- Symptoms of kidney stones typically involve episodes of intense sharp or cramping pain, known as renal colic. There may also be cloudy or pink/red urine, nausea, vomiting, pain or burning sensation during urination, fever, chills, sweating, restlessness, and discomfort while sitting or lying down.

If you are experiencing persistent or severe pain in your lower sides and uterus area, along with any other concerning symptoms of a kidney infection or kidney stones, it is important to seek medical attention. A doctor can evaluate your condition, confirm the diagnosis, and recommend appropriate treatment. Delaying treatment for kidney infections or stones can lead to complications, so timely evaluation and management are crucial.
