"What Should I Do About Kidney Stone Pain?"
Remedies for Kidney Stone Pain
Kidney stone pain can be alleviated through general treatment, medication, surgery, and other methods. It is recommended that patients seek medical attention promptly and select an appropriate treatment based on the underlying cause.
I. General Treatment
- Drink More Water: If the patient's condition is relatively mild without significant discomfort, drinking moderate amounts of warm water can promote the body's metabolism and, to a certain extent, effectively improve the situation.
- Adjust Dietary Structure: Pay attention to a balanced diet in daily life, focusing on light and easily digestible foods such as rice porridge and pumpkin porridge. Also, consume fresh fruits and vegetables like apples and tomatoes, avoiding spicy and irritating foods that may aggravate the condition.
II. Medication
If general treatment fails to bring effective improvement, and the pain is relatively severe, analgesic medications prescribed by a doctor should be taken, such as Ibuprofen Sustained-Release Capsules or Diclofenac Sodium Sustained-Release Tablets, to achieve pain relief.
III. Surgery
If the kidney stones are large in size and accompanied by significant clinical symptoms like severe abdominal pain and hematuria, surgical interventions like extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) or percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) are necessary to effectively control the disease.
In addition, traditional Chinese medicine, exercise therapy, and other methods can also be employed to alleviate the symptoms. If other discomforts arise, timely consultation and relevant examinations are required for proper treatment.
