How to Deal with Stones Stuck in the Urinary Tract?
Urinary stones stuck in the urinary tract actually refer to urinary calculi. This disease belongs to adverse lesions of the urinary system. In recent years, the incidence rate has been relatively high, usually caused by poor dietary factors. After becoming ill, the urinary tract will be severely damaged. At the same time, accompanied by severe symptoms, treatment measures should be taken as soon as possible. So how to deal with stones stuck in the urinary tract?
1. If the stones stuck in the urinary tract are not particularly large, general treatment can be carried out. General treatment mainly refers to adjusting the lifestyle. Patients need to drink more water and eat more food with high water content, which can increase urine output and thereby accelerate the excretion of stones. As a reminder, high-purine and high-fat foods should not be consumed excessively, as they may affect the treatment of stones.
2. Stones stuck in the urinary tract can also be improved through medication. In drug therapy, not only stone-removing drugs should be used, but also stone-dissolving drugs and anti-inflammatory drugs should be appropriately combined to make the treatment effect more significant without damaging health. However, the specific drug treatment process and methods need to be carefully followed as advised by professional doctors.
3. Surgical treatment can also handle stones stuck in the urinary tract. There are many surgical methods for treating this condition, among which extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is commonly used and has good effects. However, it is relatively cumbersome to operate and may have a risk of recurrence. To make the surgical effect better, it is recommended to choose local incision and stone removal.
Stones stuck in the urinary tract can be treated through the above methods. There are various treatment methods for stone diseases, but everyone's condition is different, so the suitable method is also different. When choosing a specific method, one should follow the advice of a professional doctor. After treatment, it is necessary to maintain sufficient rest time, conduct regular related reexaminations, and monitor the specific excretion of stones.
