Kidney Stones And Urinary Retention. The only way kidney stones are going to cause urinary retention is if it blocks the ureter. The ureter is the drainage tube from the kidney to the bladder.
I think your doctor is nuts. Muscle weakness and spasticity both hallmark ms symptoms can be enhanced due to urinary retention along with the development of kidney stones and an overall decrease in the quality of life. Severe retention may also lead to kidney failure.
If a kidney stone was doing that you would be in severe pain and feel sicker than a dog.
If there is an obstruction for example bladder or kidney stones a blockage occurs and urine cannot flow unimpeded through your urinary track. They both cause damage to parts of the urinary system such as the bladder ureter urethra and kidneys. Severe retention may also lead to kidney failure. Instead the bladder continues to stretch and enlarge to accommodate more urine.
