Why did kidney calculi come to you?
Dietary factors are an inducement that cannot be ignored. If you have the following eating habits, you should pay more attention and get rid of them in time. Don't wait for kidney calculi to knock at the door to know:
Don't drink water: this should be the most familiar factor. Drinking water has a great influence on renal function. Drinking little water at ordinary times will affect its metabolism, reduce urination, and some crystals will be deposited in the body, which will become stones after a long time.
Excessive intake of high-protein food: Although protein is an indispensable nutrient for human body, if it is consumed too much, it will easily affect the normal metabolism of urinary calcium and oxalic acid in the body, which will easily increase the risk over time. For fitness friends, many people will eat protein powder, but also need to pay attention to, always eat vegetables and drink water, and be careful to eat too much kidney calculi.
Eating too much salt: too much sodium intake will also affect the excretion of calcium in urine. Some people grow kidney calculi not because of calcium supplement, but because of the habit of heavy salt for a long time, which leads to excessive excretion.
In addition to improper diet, diseases such as heredity, age and malnutrition will also increase the risk.
Kidney calculi, some people are asymptomatic, such as smooth surface can be excreted with urine, or stones are fixed, so they can be asymptomatic. For patients with symptoms, the following discomfort usually occurs:
1) Pain
Pain is a common manifestation, and the types of pain are related to the size of stones, such as swelling pain, colic or dull pain.
2) Abnormal urination
Some patients will excrete hematuria, usually accompanied by pain, but some are painless. If there is still infection, it may cause symptoms such as urgency and frequent urination.
Painless kidney calculi, more deadly?
Indeed, asymptomatic kidney calculi is like a "time bomb" hidden in the body!
Case sharing: A patient in kidney calculi left a deep impression on me, because he was still young, only in his thirties, but his kidney had lost its function. The reason is that he found out kidney calculi a few years ago, without any symptoms and pain, but did not attract attention. Unexpectedly, his kidney was broken during the recent examination. Later, at the doctor's suggestion, he had a resection, which made me feel very sorry. He lost a kidney at a young age.
"Why not cure it?" Many people may think so, but in fact, kidney calculi, whoever is painless will suffer. The experience of this young man is a lesson, and I hope everyone can take it as a warning. It can attract your attention because it hurts, but it doesn't hurt. Many people often think that the problem is not big, or even forget it for a long time. In fact, many stones, the bigger, the less painful.
Painless kidney calculi, if there is no secondary infection, may be asymptomatic for a long time, but once there is infection, the harm is much more serious than symptomatic. There are stones stuck in the kidney, and urine can't be discharged normally. Over time, the kidney will accumulate water and then lose its function step by step, which will even affect the life safety of patients.
So kidney calculi needs to pay more attention to this kind of anodyne, so how to treat it?
Generally speaking, if it is a relatively small stone, no more than 6 mm, it may be discharged by itself. Patients can also drink plenty of water and exercise properly to promote the discharge of stones.
If the doctor, after evaluating your condition, thinks that you don't need special treatment for the time being, don't think that this means that you don't need treatment. It is necessary to review regularly to know the size and growth position of stones in time and judge whether intervention is needed.
Attention should also be paid after healing, because its recurrence rate is relatively high, so it is very important to learn to prevent and develop good habits in daily life, so don't forget the pain after healing the scar. In addition, due to the high incidence of the disease, it is suggested that everyone should also develop the habit of regular physical examination and conduct investigations.
To sum up, many people have bad living habits, which leads to all kinds of lithiasis. Kidney calculi is a common stone. If you have these bad habits, you should get rid of them as soon as possible. After discovering that you have kidney calculi, we should pay more attention to painless stones. Don't wait for renal failure to regret it, and intervene early to recover.
