Member Pain and Tingling Due to Kidney Stones Most of the time, a male organ is a guy’s best friend – and as such, when the little buddy doesn’t feel well, a guy wants to take steps to get him back in shape. That’s why proper attention to male organ health is on the top of most men’s to-do lists. But preventing member pain sometimes involves taking steps that might not seem directly related to the member. For example, a man may develop kidney stones and not think this condition might bring about member pain or other manhood issues. Unfortunately, it can. About kidney stones Kidney stones are a fairly common problem. Approximately one million Americans will suffer from kidney stones every year. Over the last 35 years, the number of Americans getting kidney stones at some point in their lives has tripled, from 3% to 9%. And men are more likely to get kidney stones than are women. But just what are kidney stones? Technically, they aren’t stones as they are not made of rock; they’re more “crystalline” in nature. Urine has several ingredients in it, including a variety of minerals and salts. If the levels of some of these minerals and salts are elevated too high – if there’s too much of one or more of them – they may form what we refer to as stones. Some of the stones are very, very small, and a person is never aware they have one. But when they get too big, they make their presence felt. Most kidney stones are primarily calcium in nature, accounting for about 80% of all stones. Stones made from too much uric acid account for 5-10% of stones, and another 10% are made from magnesium ammonium phosphate. Very rarely, too much of an amino acid called cysteine creates a stone.
