Local hot compress: Hot towel can be used to press the waist slightly upward, which can promote blood circulation and relieve pain to some extent, mainly for mild pain.
Acupoint massage: Acupoint massage in Chinese medicine can also relieve the pain caused by kidney calculi. Acupoints that can be massaged include Zusanli, Sanyinjiao and Yinlingquan. Zusanli is located in the anterolateral part of the calf, 3 inches below the nose of the calf, and a horizontal finger from the front edge of the tibia; Sanyinjiao point is located on the inner side of the calf, 3 inches above the medial ankle tip, and Yinlingquan is located in the depression below the medial condyle of the tibia.
Oral drugs: If the above methods can't relieve the pain, you can choose oral drugs to relieve the pain according to the doctor's advice, such as ibuprofen, pethidine, Demerol and other analgesic drugs.
Surgical stone removal: If the pain is severe and cannot be relieved by conservative treatment or the stone is large, it is recommended to remove the stone in time. The common stone extraction methods include extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
Kidney calculi should not only stop the pain in time, but also drink more water and exercise more to promote the discharge of stones.
