Kidney stones can form when urine is too concentrated. This disease is a relatively common case, it is evident that the kidney stone was experienced by humans thousands of years ago.
Despite causing severe pain when moving towards urinary tract stones, but the stones are small can get into the urinary tract itself. All you need to do is drink plenty of water so that the urine smoothly.
The doctor will also give you drugs known as alpha-blockers to relax the walls of the ureter so that kidney stones come out easier. When the size of the stone is smaller than 5 millimeters, likely out alone ranges from 90 percent.
Meanwhile, if the stone size larger then needed another action, such as surgery. But in recent years patients can avoid surgery due to the shock wave procedure.
Shock wave therapy (extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy / ESWL) will destroy the kidney stone into small pieces so it is more easily excreted through the urine. Although rare, this procedure can cause bleeding side effects.
Stones that can not be destroyed by ESWL method will usually be handled by other means, such as ureteroscopy. This procedure is done when the kidney stone has made its way to the bladder. The doctor will use a fine tube through the urinary tract to the location of the kidney stone was then hose will give the sound waves on the stone so that the stone will be broken.
After successful stone removed, the doctor will analyze the elements forming kidney stones, whether as calcium, uric acid, or urinary seluran bacterial infections. Thus lifestyle modifications can be done so that the re-formation of kidney stones can be avoided.
