Kidney stones are a very common urinary system disease, which is due to some factors stimulating, so that the concentration of stone-forming substances in the urine is increased, or the dissolution is too low, a large number of crystals are precipitated, and the stones are accumulated locally, resulting in excessive accumulation.
Once suffering from kidney stones, patients will have different degrees of renal colic, hematuria and other phenomena. There are also patients who may also be accompanied by repeated urinary tract infections and other problems, which have a greater impact on health.
Therefore, after suffering from kidney stones, it is necessary to take corresponding methods to quickly discharge the stones. So, what should be done to effectively expel kidney stones?
How to quickly excrete kidney stones?
First, drink water and drain stones
One of the main causes of kidney stones is related to too little water intake. Especially for people who have been exercising or working outdoors for a long time, once they drink too little water, it will make the urine concentrate. Moreover, more ultraviolet radiation will synthesize a large amount of vitamin A and vitamin D in the human body.
These components can promote the absorption of some calcium by the intestine, so that the calcium content in the urine and blood is relatively increased, and it is easy to form stones.
After just suffering from stones, because the size of the stones is very small, it will flow downward with the urine, so you can properly replenish some more water, which can dilute the urine and prevent the formation of larger stones. And it is possible to excrete small stones from the body by urinating a lot.
In general, kidney stone patients should maintain a daily water intake of between 2,000 ml and 3,000 ml.
In the early morning, the amount of water consumed is kept at about 500 to 1000 ml. And it is necessary to use boiled water as the mainstay, and do not drink strong tea, coffee and any sugary or alcoholic drinks.
Second, the movement of stone discharge
Prolonged sedentary inactivity is another major trigger for kidney stones. After suffering from kidney stones, once sitting and not exercising for a long time, it will cause kidney stones to be difficult to discharge, resulting in excessive enlargement, which has a greater impact on health.
Therefore, for people suffering from kidney stones, we must actively exercise every day. Especially for patients with relatively small stones, when replenishing water, while increasing the amount of exercise, it can promote the production of a large amount of urine in the body. In the process of urination, some small stones can be excreted from the body.
3. Drug or surgical stone removal
Although drinking water properly plus exercise can prompt some smaller stones to drain out. However, if the volume of the stone exceeds one centimeter, then such a stone will basically not excrete itself from the ureter and urethra. Moreover, when the large stones move downwards, they will be embedded in the narrow place, causing obstruction and posing a greater risk to health.
For people with abnormal kidney function, once a large amount of water is drunk, it will also increase the burden on the kidneys, and even lead to hydronephrosis, which is not good for health. Moreover, when the kidney stone is acutely attacked, if left untreated, it will bring greater pain to the patient. Therefore, for these patients, it is necessary to receive scientific and standardized treatment.
For example, during the acute attack period, because the patient will have severe pain, opioid analgesics and antispasmodic drugs can be appropriately taken, and some nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken in conjunction with them.
Moreover, patients can receive appropriate surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor, such as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, or open surgery to quickly remove the stones.
All in all, for people suffering from kidney stones, stone removal can be carried out according to the above 3 points.
However, it is worth noting that if it is an acute attack period, the stone volume is large, or there are complications, then you must accept the doctor's advice and take medication or surgery to remove the stone.
And after treatment, patients must undergo regular re-examinations to prevent the recurrence of kidney stones and affect their health.
