What is the best treatment for kidney stones?

Kidney stones are a type of urinary calculus. It is a urological disease, so if you go to the doctor, you need to see a urologist. The best plan for kidney stones should be determined according to the number and size of the stones, their location in the kidneys, whether there is secondary infection, whether there is bleeding, etc.

The main symptoms of kidney stones are painful urination, hematuria, and oral antispasmodic and analgesic drugs can be taken when the pain occurs, generally if the stones are not big, the diameter is not more than 6mm, and they can be discharged on their own.

Stones less than 2 cm in diameter that do not cause obstruction to the kidneys can be lithotripsy by extracorporeal shock waves**. If the diameter is more than two centimeters, holmium laser lithotripsy can be performed by percutaneous nephroscopy**. If the stones are scattered in the renal calycea, the upper calypium and renal pelvis can be laser lithotripsy by holmium laser through a flexible ureteroscope**.

The best way for kidney stones is, of course, no damage or small damage, if you can take stone melt medicine to melt the stone gradually and then excrete it from the body, this is the best way, of course, the diameter of the stone at this time must be below 0.5 mm, more than 0.5 mm may have to take ultrasound or minimally invasive surgery to take out.

At present, there is no unified protocol for the optimal treatment of kidney stones**. According to the location and size of the stone, the best method is as follows: 1. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy** without urinary tract obstruction renal pelvis, and calculus with a diameter of less than 2cm on the calyce.

2. Lower calyceal stones are usually treated with percutaneous nephrolithotomy or transureteroscopic stone removal**. 3. For larger stones in the renal pelvis and calyces greater than 2cm, percutaneous nephrolithotomy or transureteroscopic stone removal is generally considered.

For kidney stones, first of all, we should pay attention to drinking more water, urinate frequently, and do not hold urine. Generally, stones smaller than a centimeter can be discharged through the ureteral urethra, and traditional Chinese medicine also has a good effect on the excretion of fossil stones.

Depending on the composition of the stone and the size of the stone, the method of kidney stone is also different. These methods do not say which one is the best, and the best method is the best one that is suitable for the patient's actual situation.

Kidney stones are a common disease, and everyone's daily life has a lot to do with it, for the diameter of kidney stones can be used to drink more water, exercise more and eat some drugs to dissolve stones**, followed by 1cm diameter of kidney stones, it is recommended to first take oral stone expelling Yushijia tea to dissolve stones**. For stones with a diameter of 2 cm, extracorporeal impact lithotripsy can be used.

Nephrolithiasis is a common disease in urology and high incidence, it is easy to have hematuria and low back pain, and some serious ones will also have hydronephrosis and damage kidney function, so it must be detected early and early. The size of kidney stones is different, and the ** method used is also different, so let's introduce to you how kidney stones less than 2cm should be used**.

First of all, for the diameter of kidney stones, this kind of stones are discharged by themselves and the success rate of drug stone removal is relatively high, it is recommended to try to drink more water (2500ml of water per day), more activities (skipping rope, running, playing basketball, jumping stairs and other sports are very useful), sleep must sleep sideways, stones can be inverted when the kidney is at the lower pole, and then oral stone expulsion drugs, and then regular reexamination.

What are the best methods of kidney stones.

1. Drink a lot of water, which is the most critical, what stone patients must do, no matter which doctor will give you this requirement, at least drink more than eight catties a day; Insist on eating stone granules, any brand will do. If the stone is laid, you should insist on eating it for about a week, which is conducive to thoroughly rinsing the small particles or urethra that you have not found.

2. If your stone is under 5mm, then you are lucky to find it early, and it is very easy to treat at this stage; The best way to group number is to stick to the above one or two steps, spend a few yuan to buy a rope to jump more every day, more than two hours a day! Each jump rope should not be less than 20 minutes.

How kidney stones are formed.

1. The formation process of kidney stones is caused by certain factors to increase the concentration of crystalline substances in the urine or reduce the solubility, which is in a supersaturated state, precipitates crystals and grows and accumulates locally, and finally forms stones. There are many factors that affect the formation of stones, such as age, gender, ethnicity, genetics, environmental factors, dietary habits, and occupation.

2. Metabolic abnormalities of the body (such as hyperparathyroidism, hypercortisolism, hyperglycemia), long-term bed rest, nutritional deficiencies (vitamin B6 deficiency, magnesium deficiency diet), urinary tract obstruction, infection, foreign body and drug use are common in stone formation.

What are the best ways to get kidney stones? Through the above content, we can know a thing or two. In fact, in our daily life, there are still a lot of tricks, as long as we are willing to learn, we can learn, but for those patients or friends who are already more serious, it is really necessary to actively go to the hospital for treatment, do not endanger their health.

At present, the method of kidney stones is still very perfect, and the choice of specific stone methods is mainly based on the composition of the stones, the size and location of the stones.

If the stone is hard and the effect of extracorporeal lithotripsy is not good, minimally invasive techniques such as ureteroscopic lithotripsy and percutaneous nephrolithotripsy can be used. For isolated uric acid stones, drugs may be used. Alkalinization of urine**.

Kidney stones are a very common urological disease. Kidney stones are not terrible, what is terrible is kidney stone pain, and what is more terrible than kidney stone pain is that after taking the stone, you find that the stone has grown again. For patients with kidney stones, kidney stones** are an indescribable pain.

Is there no way to have kidney stones? Let's find out together today.

Are kidney stones hard**? According to medical statistics, more than 50% of patients will be re-established within five years after the first stone, and those who have metabolic abnormalities, congenital anomalies or urinary tract infections have a higher rate and faster. It is generally recommended that patients who have had kidney stones should have relevant examinations at least once every six months to determine whether the stones are **.

Generally, it is found that there are kidney stones below 6mm, and you can use De Healing Stone Tom Tea Chinese herbal formula to dissolve stones and remove stones, and you can also use to prevent stones after surgery with larger stones**.

Three misconceptions about extracorporeal lithotripsy for kidney stones.

Myth 1, if you have done extracorporeal lithotripsy, kidney stones are fine.

Patients with kidney stones have done extracorporeal lithotripsy, but only when the stones are crushed and the stones are excreted from the body, they are considered to be completed. Extracorporeal lithotripsy refers to extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), which generates a shock wave through an extracorporeal lithotripsy machine, which is focused by the machine and aimed at the stones, and after multiple releases of energy, the stones in the body are broken up and excreted with urine. To put it simply, it is actually to crush large stones into small particles of kidney stones.

These gravel particles may stay in place and be discharged before they are discharged.

Myth 2: No matter what type of kidney stones, lithotripsy can be done in vitro.

Such a statement is false, not all kidney stones can be performed by extracorporeal lithotripsy**. Generally speaking, in vitro lithotripsy will have a higher success rate for single stones less than 1 cm. Patients with kidney stones should choose whether to undergo extracorporeal lithotripsy according to the actual situation.

If conditions do not permit, percutaneous nephrolithotripsy, urethral catroscopic lithotripsy, open surgery, etc. are recommended.

Myth 3: After in vitro lithotripsy, there is no need for reexamination.

Extracorporeal lithotripsy needs to be re-examined within a certain period of time according to the doctor's instructions. The re-examination at this time is equivalent to the follow-up after **. Extracorporeal lithotripsy** may occur in the following four situations:

1. The stone is completely discharged; secondly, small particles of stone remain, other stone removal methods can be used; thirdly, large particles of stone remain, which require further stone crushing; Fourth, there is no change in the shape and location of the stone, and other methods are taken according to the situation.

If it is the first two cases, even if it is not re-examined in the short term, it will not hinder and will not cause serious consequences. If the latter two conditions are the case, then it can have more serious consequences, such as hydronephrosis caused by urinary tract obstruction. It is recommended that after extracorporeal lithotripsy, it is better to re-examine on time according to the doctor's instructions.

There is no best method for kidney stones, and the main methods include drugs, extracorporeal shock waves, surgery, etc., which need to be individualized by doctors according to the patient's condition.

1.Drugs**.

1) Analgesia**: The first episode of renal colic can be relieved with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as diclofenac sodium and indomethacin; If the pain persists, dihydromorphone, meperidine, bucinazox, etc., can be used together with antispasmodic drugs such as atropine and denunculus, which can be used for analgesia and sedation.

2) Anti-infection**: Acute attacks of kidney stones are often accompanied by infection, and antibiotics should be used in time**.

3) Stone expulsion drugs**: The available drugs are diclofenac sodium suppositories, anal plugs, A-receptor blockers (tamsulosin), potassium hydrogen citrate sodium, sodium bicarbonate tablets, etc., which are only suitable for a small number of small kidney stones.

4) Stone dissolving**: that is, dissolving stones or stone fragments by chemical methods, which can completely remove stones, is an effective auxiliary method, and has significant efficacy for infectious stones, cystine stones, and uric acid stones.

2.Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy: suitable for renal pelvis and intermediate and superior calytic stones with a diameter of 5 20 mm, not for pregnant women and patients with distal urinary tract strictures, coagulopathy, renal failure, acute urinary tract infection, severe arrhythmias and excessive stone volume.

3.Surgery**.

1) Percutaneous nephroscopic lithotripsy: mainly used for **complex kidney stones, such as 2 cm kidney stones, staghorn stones, multiple kidney stones and extracorporeal shock wave ** failed stones.

2) Ureteroscopic lithotripsy: suitable for kidney stones with a diameter of <2 cm, mainly including middle and lower ureteral stones, upper ureteral stones that have failed extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, ureteral stones with negative X-ray, and incarcerated stones with long residence time.

3) Open surgery: due to the large trauma of this surgery, it is rarely used at present, and is only used when there are contraindications, complications or failures in other surgical methods.

It's time to go for stone removal treatment! If the stone is very small and stable, it can be observed at any time without treatment.

Drink plenty of water, eat more foods that can promote calcium absorption, and eat more calcium-rich foods, such as fish, shrimp and crabs. Eating more foods containing minerals and trace elements is also beneficial to the disease**, which can differentiate the stones and excrete them in the urine. For your own health, eat less foods rich in calcium oxalate, such as tofu, celery, tofu skin, potatoes, grapes, etc.

For the first grade of kidney stones, generally speaking, only the combination of crushing, dissolving, draining and preventing can achieve satisfactory results. However, before the appearance of kidney stones in vitro lithotripsy, surgical methods are mostly used to solve some difficult cases. However, surgery increases the economic burden of patients and aggravates the damage of the body, especially for patients with good renal function, the scar at the surgical incision site is a good breeding ground for stone formation in patients with kidney stones.

The best method is to look at the size of the stone and whether there is a problem such as hydronephrosis to make a comprehensive judgment, if it is found through the examination that although there are kidney stones, the kidney stones are relatively small, and there is no very severe pain and other symptoms. In this case, you can consider being conservative**, specifically paying attention to drinking plenty of water and exercising appropriately. In addition, you can take some drugs such as stone removal granules or stone pass, so that after a period of time, the stones may also be slowly discharged.

The shock wave of the extracorporeal lithotripsy machine is used to impact and suppress the stone until the stone is completely crushed, and the operation is mainly for some patients with large stones, and other methods cannot help them to be discharged smoothly, and the situation of the stone is more complicated.

Kidney stones mainly depend on the size of the stone and the location of the stone obstruction, small stones can be excreted by themselves, large ones need surgery ** or lithotripsy, in general, surgery ** is the fastest way to relieve symptoms, but the specific problem is analyzed on a case-by-case basis. It is recommended to follow the doctor's arrangement.

1. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is the shock wave of the extracorporeal lithotripsy machine to impact and suppress the stone until the stone is completely crushed, because the more broken it is, the easier it is to remove it from the body. The use of this method must be carried out under the guidance of the doctor, in advance of the timely examination of the urinary system, but also to check the functional indicators, in line with the most basic standards can be used such a method, only in this way, can the use of extracorporeal lithotripsy with confidence.

2. Surgery**.

Surgery is mainly for some patients with large stones, other methods can not help them to eliminate the body smoothly, and the situation of stones is more complicated, at this time, only surgery can be used to kidney stones; At present, the main surgical method is generally laparoscopy, only if the kidney stones are too large and the number is relatively large, and the laparoscope cannot be removed, only the knife can be used to remove and exclude, and in severe cases, nephrectomy may be required, and uroplasty will be used at the same time.

3.Drugs**.

In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of people suffering from kidney stones. By prescribing some stones to the kidney stones, it can assist patients to eliminate them in time through urine, and the drugs are aimed at some people with relatively small stones, and the effect of taking medicine slowly is more obvious.
