Prevention of urinary tract stones

  In many patients, stones are temporarily removed with surgical or non-surgical treatment. If patients do not take care of their lives, the already cured urinary calculi can recur. Therefore, we remind patients with urolithiasis to pay attention to the prevention and regimen.  1, drink more water: drinking a lot of water has a preventive effect on all components of urinary stones. In the hot summer, the risk of urinary stone growth increases significantly when the daily urine volume is less than 1200 ml. If you can make the daily water consumption in 2000-4000 ml, so that you can maintain the daily urine volume in 2000 ml or more. Drinking a lot of water can promote the discharge of small stones, dilute the urine can prevent the formation of urinary stone crystals, and can slow down the growth of stones. Of course, you should pay attention to drinking water hygiene, pay attention to water quality, avoid drinking water containing too much calcium.  2, more activities: usually more activities, such as walking, jogging, gymnastics, etc.. When you are physically fit, you can also jump in place, which is also good for preventing recurrence of urinary stones.  3, treatment of primary diseases: treatment of certain primary diseases that cause urinary stones hyperparathyroidism (parathyroid adenoma, adenocarcinoma or proliferative changes, etc.) can cause disorders of calcium and phosphorus metabolism in the body and induce calcium phosphate stones. In this case, it is necessary to treat the parathyroid disorder first. Obstructive factors in the urinary tract, such as tumors, prostatic hyperplasia, and urethral strictures, can cause urine to accumulate and cause “aging” of the urine. After the organic deposits in the urine “aging”, it may increase in size and become non-crystalline microstones.  4, reasonable diet: limited intake of sugar, less oxalate content of food containing high oxalate food such as tomatoes, spinach, strawberries, beets, chocolate, etc., less soy products, more black fungus, etc.. Because 2 to 3 hours after drinking milk, calcium through the kidneys in a short period of time suddenly increased, it is the peak of calcium excretion through the kidneys, easy to form stones, so kidney stone patients, before bedtime should not drink milk containing high calcium.  5, control infection: because bacteria and its cause of pus mass, necrotic tissue, etc. can also be used as the core of stones and lead to stone generation, so timely treatment of urinary tract infection is very important to prevent the recurrence of stones.
