40% to 75% of kidney stone patients have varying degrees of low back pain. The stones are large and move very little, and may manifest as soreness and discomfort in the waist, or dull or dull pain when physical activity increases. Do you know how to treat kidney stones? Below, I will introduce it to you.

Symptoms of kidney stones

1. Pain: Most patients with kidney stones experience low back pain or abdominal pain. Larger stones may compress, rub or cause fluid accumulation in the renal pelvis or calyces, often resulting in dull or dull pain in the waist on the affected side, which is often aggravated after activity. Smaller stones move and disintegrate in the renal pelvis or ureter, causing smooth muscle spasm and colic. This colic often occurs suddenly, with severe pain, like a knife, and runs along the affected side of the ureter to the lower abdomen and external body. ** and radiating to inner thigh. Sometimes patients are accompanied by pale complexion, cold sweats, nausea, and vomiting. In severe cases, symptoms such as weak and rapid pulse and decreased blood pressure may occur. The pain often occurs in paroxysms, or may suddenly stop or relieve due to a certain movement, leaving behind a dull pain in the waist and abdomen. Such as ureteral end stones, can still cause urinary tract *** symptoms. After pain, some patients can excrete small stones in the urine, which is of great significance to diagnosis.

2. Hematuria: Because kidney stones directly damage the mucous membranes of the kidneys and ureters, microscopic hematuria or gross hematuria often occurs after severe pain. The severity of the hematuria is related to the degree of damage.

3. Pyuria: When kidney and ureteral stones are complicated by infection, pus cells appear in the urine. High fever and low back pain may occur clinically. Some patients are diagnosed with pyelonephritis, and stones are not discovered until urinary tract X-ray examination. .

4. Others: Stone obstruction can cause hydronephrosis, and enlarged kidneys can be palpated during examination. Minor trauma to the kidney area may be misdiagnosed as severe kidney trauma due to enlarged kidneys found during physical examination. When kidney stones block the upper urinary tract on both sides or a solitary kidney at the same time, renal insufficiency and even anuria often occur. Some patients may even develop gastrointestinal symptoms, anemia, etc.

The formation of kidney stones is mostly related to drinking water. Therefore, any water containing too much impurity calcium salt must be purified and boiled before drinking. Usually, money grass can be brewed into boiled water and used as tea, which has the effects of diuresis and stone removal, clearing away heat and dampness, preventing and treating urinary tract infections, and preventing the onset of renal colic. If magnetized water and Desmodium water are troublesome, drinking a certain amount of tea water can also have diuretic and stone elimination effects.

Treatment methods for kidney stones

1. Non-invasive fiber-optic flexible lithotomy

Non-invasive fiber-optic flexible lithotomy is the leading, safest and most effective way to remove stone fragments Stone technology is as simple as a painless electronic gastroscopy. Non-invasive flexible fiberscope lithotomy does not require "punching" a hole in the patient's abdomen. Instead, it penetrates the urethra, bladder, and ureter into the kidney through the body's natural channels, and then uses a fully flexible flexible ureteroscope to remove the entire kidney. Find the stone in the direction and then remove the stone directly. If the stone is large, a rigid ureteroscope can be used to break the stone first, and then a holmium laser can be used to clean out the remaining stones in the kidneys or allow the stones to be excreted directly through urine. It can effectively avoid the risk of intraoperative and postoperative hemorrhage.

Second and third positioning extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy

Using the principle of "beating a cow across the mountain", the high-energy shock wave generated by the generator is focused on the lesion outside the body to crush it. , the gravel is then excreted in the urine. Clinically proven, this technology has the advantages of low noise, high efficiency, constant emission energy, no need for surgery, good curative effect, no obvious pain, few complications, and economy.

3. Minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy

There is no need for internal intubation and no electromagnetic radiation. It only needs to use a thin puncture needle to directly enter the kidney from the back, through the diameter There is only a small opening of about 0.5cm, and the holmium and radium *** can be used to break up and expel the stones accurately.

Measures to prevent kidney stones

1. Drinking a lot of water can prevent and treat uroliths of all components. Drinking more water will dilute the urine, and the concentration of calcium ions and oxalate will decrease. Reduced, calcium oxalate stones cannot be formed. Drinking more water and dietary therapy can prevent 2/3 of patients with recurrent stones from developing new stones.

2. Reasonable calcium supplementation, especially dietary calcium supplementation. Kidney stone patients often "discolor when talking about calcium" and mistakenly believe that the culprit of kidney stones is calcium. In fact, this is not the case. Kidney stone patients also need calcium supplementation. At present, the medical community explains from two different perspectives why patients with kidney stones need calcium supplements.

3. *** Intake of sugars. A latest study by American scientists shows that the intake of high-sugar foods can increase the chance of developing kidney stones. Therefore, be careful to eat less sweets.

4. Eat less foods with high oxalate content. Foods with high oxalate content include tomatoes, spinach, strawberries, beets, chocolate, etc. Excessive oxalate intake can also lead to kidney stones. One of the main reasons.

5. Eat less soy products. Soy foods are high in oxalate and phosphate, which can combine with calcium in the kidneys to form stones.

6. Drink milk carefully before going to bed. For people who have trouble sleeping, drinking a glass of milk before going to bed can help them sleep. Patients with kidney stones should not drink milk high in calcium before going to bed.

7. Do not overdose on cod liver oil. Cod liver oil is rich in vitamin D and has the function of promoting the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the intestinal membrane. A sudden increase in the excretion of calcium and phosphorus in the urine will inevitably produce precipitation and easily form stones.
