Can Staghorn Kidney Stones Cause Diarrhea?
Question: can staghorn kidney stones cause diarrhea ?
Brief Answer:
No!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this staghorn stone and diarrhea that you have mentioned. Staghorn kidney stones cannot cause diarrhea and this is most likely caused by something else. Most common causes of diarrhea is a virus and the best treatment is increased fluid intake. Avoid taking any drug to stop it.
In all, not a possible cause of diarrhea. Drink much water and this will resolve spontaneously. Avoid akin drugs that stop diarrhea as this worsens the diarrhea rather.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
