Urinary stones are a common disease among older adults in the summer. But for many older adults, treating stones through surgery is traumatic, risky, and recovery is not easy. For this group of patients, is there a better way to relieve the pain of the disease? Kidney stones put the elderly at risk of kidney failure Not long ago, we received a senior male patient. At that time, he had been bedridden for a long time and had a high fever for several days. The medical staff immediately examined him carefully and found that one of his kidneys was full of stones and had started co-infection. This was the cause of the high fever that would not go away. The most urgent task was to cure the kidney stone immediately. However, the special situation of the elderly made the family difficult. It turned out that the patient had cardiovascular disease and required long-term anticoagulant drugs. The risk of undergoing surgery in this case was too great. However, if the infection was not treated immediately and further expanded, the patient would easily develop kidney failure, and the consequences would be even more serious. After understanding the situation, Liu Qing immediately performed ureteral soft lithotripsy to remove the stone for the patient. Through minimally invasive technology, he penetrated the lumpectomy into the kidney and then broke the stone and removed it little by little. Since the patient was old and the stone size was quite large, so the treatment that could be completed in about an hour took two hours for Liu Qing to finish completely. Minimally invasive treatment of urinary stones is suitable for the elderly The ureteral chondroscopy lithotripsy surgery performed represents the latest treatment concept for urinary stones based on minimally invasive and lumpectomy. Its most important feature is that it is less invasive, so it is very suitable for elderly people who are sickly and bedridden all year round. It is especially suitable for some patients who need to take anticoagulant drugs for a long time because of cardiovascular diseases. The hot weather in summer, the body water dissipation accelerated, many elderly people improper hydration, easy to induce the acute infection of kidney stones attack. Therefore, it is important for people to take precautions currently. It is important to prevent and treat urinary tract infections in summer. Urinary tract infections are a major factor in the formation of urinary stones and relate to the effectiveness of the prevention and treatment of urolithiasis. People also need to drink more water to increase the amount of urine and to form an “internal wash”, which facilitates the elimination of many salts and minerals from the body. Of course, people should pay attention to drinking water hygiene, pay attention to water quality, avoid drinking water containing too much calcium. In summer, the elderly should be more active, such as walking, jogging, etc.. When in good physical condition, they can also jump in place, which is also beneficial to prevent the recurrence of urinary stones. Obstructive factors in the urinary tract, such as tumors, prostate enlargement and urethral strictures, can cause urine to accumulate. When the organic deposits in the urine “age”, they may increase in size and become non-crystalline microstones. Therefore, treatment of certain primary causes of urinary stones is also important to prevent recurrence of stones.
