Recently, some netizens posted that they went to see Hua Chenyu's concert with the subject, and after watching the concert, the subject's kidney stones were broken, and yellow particles were discharged, and the blogger also emphasized that "this matter is real". Because the situation is relatively rare, the topic # Hua Chenyu concert shattered kidney stones # rushed to the first place in the hot search.
The netizen said in the article that his subject's kidney stones were not serious, and he drank a lot of water that day and kept bouncing. While listening to the concert, the subject suddenly said that "the kidney stones seem to have been shattered, so transparent", and after returning to the hotel, he actually excreted yellow particles.
This news quickly sparked heated discussions on the Internet, and netizens were confused.
Of course, there are some who are skeptical, believing that it is just a coincidence or a psychological effect.
Watching a concert shattered kidney stones?
Doctor: It's a possibility
Nephrolithiasis is a stone formed in the kidneys by some components of the urine, which often causes patients to have low back pain, hematuria, etc. It is more common in men, especially in the age group of 30~50 years old.
"The concert shattered kidney stones", this sounds a bit ridiculous, so is there really such a possibility? Jiang Lihai, attending physician of the Department of Urology of the First People's Hospital of Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, believes that this situation exists, but it is basically an accidental event and cannot be promoted as a routine.
High-frequency sound waves from a concert
or can achieve a shockwave effect
Jiang Lihai told reporters that medically speaking, sound waves can have a physical effect on stones. At present, a very important treatment method for urinary stones is shock wave lithotripsy, which is essentially a short pulse of high-energy sound waves, which quickly releases a large amount of energy in a relatively small space and transmits it to the stone through the skin, and the stone absorbs the energy of the shock wave and is broken into small pieces. At the same time, when the shock wave passes through the muscle tissue, adipose tissue or fascia, it does not cause significant damage, and there is no significant attenuation of energy.
The difference between shock wave and sound wave is that shock wave is a short-term violent energy change, while our ordinary sound wave is composed of small pressure changes, so ordinary sound waves generally cannot cause stone fragmentation, while the high-frequency sound wave emitted by high-power sound at the concert site can achieve an effect similar to that caused by shock wave stone fragmentation in some cases.
In addition, drinking plenty of water and jumping vigorously can promote the passage of stones. Drinking plenty of water causes the kidneys to produce a large amount of urine, which is transported through the ureters and carries out stone fragments, which can be accelerated by a sharp jump.
Principle of shockwave treatment of stones
So will this kind of stone crushing through high-frequency sound waves at the concert, instead of normal medical means of stone crushing, cause any risk to me? Jiang Lihai believes that the energy of the sound wave of the concert is actually very low compared to the shock wave of the treatment, and there is generally no risk. And it is basically impossible for a large stone to be shattered at a concert. Of course, the composition of stones is different for everyone, and even some patients have mixed stones with multiple components. For some large but brittle stones, it may shatter, but the fragments may also be relatively large and may not be able to be discharged, but will cause pain.
Stones below 6mm
You can try to drain it on your own
Even if it is excreted
It is also recommended to do another ultrasound confirmation
Is it true that sound pressure crushes kidney stones? Is there any scientific validity to such a statement? Wang Bohan, deputy chief physician of the Department of Urology of the Second Hospital of Zhejiang University, said that if the person is really crushed by sound pressure, it is a rare case. From a scientific point of view, due to drinking a lot of water and jumping all the time, the theory that the stones were finally discharged is relatively reliable.
"Depending on the size and location of the stone, there will be different treatments. In general, for larger stones, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy, and percutaneous nephroscopic laser lithotripsy can be used. Wang Bohan added that for stones below 6mm, they can be treated conservatively first. Patients are advised to drink plenty of water and pass the stones out of the body by skipping rope and other means. If the stone cannot be discharged, an extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy may be tried, which uses shock waves to break the stone and then expel the stone from the body on its own. It is worth mentioning that patients are advised to do another ultrasound to confirm whether the stone is passing or not, and sometimes there will still be remnants.
Recommendations for follow-up treatment
For the man whose kidney stone was shattered during the concert, what else should I pay attention to in the follow-up? The doctor said that it is best to go to the hospital for a color ultrasound or CT examination to determine whether there is any obvious stone remaining, and if there is a residual stone, further treatment is needed. On the other hand, it is necessary to collect the excreted stones as much as possible and send them to the hospital for stone composition analysis, and take corresponding prevention or treatment measures for different types of stones, although it cannot completely avoid the recurrence of stones, but it can delay the frequency of stone attacks or reduce the number of occurrences.
In daily life, it is also necessary to develop the habit of drinking a lot of water, ensuring that the daily water intake is 2000~2500ml, boiled water is enough, and non-diabetic patients can also drink lemon water or orange juice with rich citrate content, which is conducive to flushing out the small stones that have not grown out of the body, and at the same time reducing the speed of stone formation.
At the same time, the doctor also reminded that this special case is an occasional situation and cannot be used as an experience to learn from and promote. At the same time, the noisy environment and intense and stimulating atmosphere of the concert site will do more harm than good to some patients with coronary heart disease and hypertension, and the stones may not be discharged, but it is easy to induce corresponding cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.
