Answer
Yes, kidney stones can cause urinary tract infections (UTIs) by obstructing urine flow and creating an environment conducive to bacterial growth. Symptoms may include pain during urination, cloudy or foul-smelling urine, fever, and chills. Stones that block the urinary tract can lead to stagnant urine, increasing the risk of infection. If you experience symptoms of both kidney stones and UTIs, such as severe back pain along with frequent urination or fever, seek medical attention promptly.
Treating the infection and addressing the underlying stone are essential to prevent complications like kidney damage or sepsis.
