Kidney stones are deposits of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys.
Their presence can affect any part of the urinary tract.
Kidney stones cause a variety of symptoms such as: pain, difficulty urinating, nausea, and vomiting.
How Can You Detect the Presence of Kidney Stones?
Signs of possible kidney stones may include:
Burning sensation during urination,
Abdominal or upper back pain.
Can Medications Be Used Against Them?
Recently, the pharmaceutical industry has produced new medications, mainly for muscle relaxation and pain relief.
These medications can relieve pain and help clear the kidneys naturally.
Your doctor may also recommend medications that prevent further stone formation.
Is Surgery Necessary?
Surgical intervention becomes necessary if the stones have reached a certain size. The doctor determines the risk.
Modern medicine has advanced significantly in this direction and often internal interventions are quite minimal.
There are procedures such as lithotripsy that last an hour and completely dissolve all the stones present from the outside.
Then there is ureteroscopy, an endoscope method that breaks up stones with a laser when they are stuck inside the urinary bladder.
One of the methods used is also percutaneous ultrasonic lithotripsy, which involves minimal intervention in the upper abdomen.
This procedure is performed while the patient is under general anesthesia.
Can Stone Reoccurrence Be Prevented?
If you have been affected by kidney stones, the chances are high that within 10 years, you will suffer from the same problem again.
Experts say that one should identify risk factors and adhere to a healthy eating regimen.
