Xiao Huang, who was more than five months pregnant, this afternoon, washing clothes at home, half an hour later, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable on the left and posterior side of the waist, and it hurt. She thought it was to dry clothes when she rolled her waist and take a break, but she didn't care too much.
Who knows, in the evening, when her husband Da Gang returned home, he found that Xiao Huang was already in pain and could not walk, and what worried Da Gang even more was that after dinner, Xiao Huang began to vomit, and there was no left to spit out at all.
The young couple was worried about affecting the fetus in the stomach, rushed to the hospital, and after a doctor's examination, Xiao huang was diagnosed with "pregnancy with ureteral stones".
"Gestational stones? How did I get this disease? Xiao Huang asked suspiciously.
The incidence of ureteral stones during pregnancy is 1 in 1500 to 1 in 200, which is not very rare. Most often occur in the middle and third trimesters of pregnancy. Affected by estrogen and progesterone, pregnant women's ureteral dilation, weakened peristalsis, easy accumulation of urine, and the enlarged uterus in the third trimester of pregnancy will also compress the ureter, making pregnant women more likely to form ureteral stones.
Listening to the doctor's words, Xiao Huang and his wife understood.
"So how to treat it?" It always hurts so much, I can't stand it anymore." Xiao Huang covered her stomach and asked the doctor in pain.
Because the stones on Xiao huang's body are relatively large, conservative treatment or waiting for the stones to be discharged by themselves, the effect is not large, plus Xiao Huang is in pregnancy, ordinary stone surgery is not applicable, the doctor chose to insert a ureter stent tube in Xiao Huang's ureter.
Ureteral stents due to two curls, also known as double pig tail catheters, or D-J tubes, ureteral stents usually stay in the patient for weeks or even months, just like the tube in the picture, the purpose is to prevent the stone from blocking again and causing ureteral spasm, which in turn brings pain to the patient.
Xiao Huang asked: "This tube has been placed in the body for so long, will it affect the fetus in the stomach?" ”
Da Gang was worried that the tube inserted in Xiao Huang's body would not cause damage to Xiao Huang.
"No," the doctor explains, the tube will not affect pregnancy and childbirth. It also does not cause damage to Xiao Huang's body.
The subsequent process proved that the doctor was not wrong. Next, Xiao huang successfully passed the pregnancy and gave birth to her own baby at term.
After another 42 days, after confinement, Xiaohuang pulled out the tube that had accompanied her for several months in the hospital, removed the stones through surgery, and finally recovered her health.
The ureter stent tube that was removed was already covered with stones.
Here, Little Red Sister reminds the majority of pregnant mothers that if pregnancy, especially in the middle and third trimesters, suddenly appears waist and abdomen colic, nausea, vomiting, hematuria, fever and other symptoms, may suffer from pregnancy with ureteral stones, must seek medical treatment in time. Relieves the pain of distress.
Some pregnant women feel that they have stone disease, although it hurts, but patience will pass, do not affect eating and drinking, for the health of the fetus in the stomach, do not treat first, wait until the birth of the child and then treatment is not too late.
This idea is not right, ureteral stones seem to be a small problem, but can be secondary to obstruction and infection, severe renal colic and infection can also stimulate and induce uterine contractions in pregnant women, causing premature rupture of membranes or even miscarriage, premature delivery and other serious complications.
For pregnant women, during pregnancy, we should pay attention to drinking more water and choosing some light foods on the diet to prevent the occurrence of stones.
During pregnancy, if similar symptoms of stone disease occur, it must be treated in time to ensure the safety of the mother and baby.
If the condition is not serious and the stones are small, you can choose some drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor, which can effectively play a role in relieving spasms and relieving pain.
