Kidney stones are a common disease, and some friends may be advised to use laser lithotripsy after getting this disease. However, some friends also want to know if taking kidney stones particles can treat kidney stones. Today, we will talk about whether taking kidney stones particles is effective for treating kidney stones?
First, let’s understand what kidney stones are:
Kidney stones are caused by the abnormal accumulation of some crystalline substances (such as calcium, oxalic acid, uric acid, cystine, etc.) and organic matrices (such as matrix A, acid mucopolysaccharide, etc.) in the kidney. They are common and frequently occurring diseases of the urinary system. The incidence of male diseases is more than that of female ones, and most of them occur in young adults. There is no significant difference in the incidence of incidence rate between the left and right sides. 90% of them contain calcium, of which calcium oxalate stones are the most common.
40% to 75% of kidney stone patients experience varying degrees of lower back pain. The stones are large and have little movement, manifested as soreness and discomfort in the lower back, or dull or dull pain when physical activity increases. The colic caused by smaller stones often suddenly experiences severe pain like a knife cut in the lower back and abdomen, which is paroxysmal. Stones can occur in any part of the urinary system, but often originate in the kidneys. When kidney stones form, they are often located in the renal pelvis or calyx and can be discharged into the ureter and bladder. Almost all ureteral stones come from the kidneys.
Can eating stone particles be effective for this disease? Let’s take a look together:
The effectiveness of stone particles in treating bilateral kidney stones, which are approximately 4 by 5 in size, mainly depends on whether the stones cause obstruction. If it causes obstruction, taking medication will not have any effect. For kidney stones, extracorporeal lithotripsy and intramuscular injection of progesterone can be considered. Progesterone can not only alleviate the spasm of the renal pelvis and ureter smooth muscle, but also treat renal colic. At the same time, it can dilate the ureter and diuresis, promote the discharge of stones. Eating some stone clearing particles can be used for treatment.
Now everyone knows that the effectiveness of taking kidney stone particles depends on the size of the kidney stone. Therefore, patients should follow the doctor’s advice for treatment. If the doctor suggests lithotripsy, the above plan should be followed for treatment.
