Kidney stones, as a common disease often occurring in the urinary tract, have been increasing in incidence in recent years. Kidney stones are caused by an imbalance in the balance of colloid and crystal metabolism in the body, and the cause of primary stones is unknown. It is currently believed that the production of kidney stones is related to the level of human metabolism, environment, diet, disease and other factors, and the disease can occur at any age, with the highest incidence in young and middle-aged people. Many bad habits can also lead to the development of this disease. Drink at least four bottles of water a day In daily life, drinking too little water is the trigger for many people to develop kidney stones. Modern people are busy, fast-paced life, many people often to the end of the day can not care to drink a glass of water. In order to avoid excessive concentration of urine and prevent the deposition of crystals in the urine from kidney stones, the most important thing is to drink more water. Every day should ensure to drink more than 2000 ml of water, equivalent to the amount of 4 bottles of pure water. The water in the human body will be lost from different ways at any time and must be replenished at any time to keep the balance, even if you are not particularly thirsty, you should not forget to drink water in the back of your mind. This can speed up the urine discharge, the precipitation and accumulation of calcium and debris in the kidneys out of the body, not to form stones. Daily drinking water can be given in the morning, between meals, before bedtime, respectively. The amount of water drunk in the early morning can be 500 to 1000 ml. In order to maintain the amount of urine at night, 500 ml of water should be drunk before going to bed, 300 to 500 ml of water after urination, and the remaining water should be drunk between meals respectively. Drinking plenty of water not only effectively stops the formation of stones, but also helps excrete those stones that are smaller than a pea in size. Stone signals to be alert Kidney stones may be present for a long time without symptoms or may only manifest as mild back discomfort, especially in larger stones. Therefore, it is important to consider some symptoms as red flags and to see a doctor if you experience anything like the following: pain, swelling, dull pain or renal colic on the affected side, percussion pain in the kidney area. Hematuria mostly occurs in conjunction with pain. Persistent or recurrent distension or dull pain is due to pressure, friction or fluid collection in the renal pelvis or calyces from larger stones, most often in the angle of the affected rib cage or upper abdomen. Colic is caused by smaller stones moving in the renal pelvis or ureter, causing ureteral spasm, and often occurs suddenly and violently. In the past, the only treatment for kidney stones was open surgery, except for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. With the development of minimally invasive surgery, open surgery is only an option in exceptional cases. Diagnosis and removal of the stone does not mean the end of treatment; the stone should also be analyzed for composition to prevent its recurrence. At the same time, certain primary pathologies that cause urinary stones should be treated. For example, hyperparathyroidism, tumors, prostatic hyperplasia and urethral strictures; prevention and treatment of urinary tract infections; and taking Chinese herbal medicine, at regular intervals, with herbal moneywort and sea golden sand in water to facilitate the expulsion of fine stones from the body.
