Chronic urolithiasis is extremely difficult to cure. But you can, if you do not take the time and effort. It should be taken into account: therapy should be necessarily complex.
General rules:
1. Change lifestyle
If you have found a very small stone and for the first time, there is not sharp, and even more critical status, you should immediately change the power supply system and drinking regime, increased motor activity. In other words, to change the way of life. And do it better step by step, keeping in mind that "tunable" forever, not for a year or two.
Keep in mind:how seriously you work on your life, the outcome will depend in many ways - way to remove the stone. He, incidentally, may even go out through the urinary tract on their own. However, most often it is dissolved tablets prescribed by your doctor. If still not, remains the only way - surgery.
2. We are looking for a good surgeon
When elective surgery can not be avoided, it is necessary to look for an experienced urologist surgeon with a good reputation. To this we must make every effort, as during surgery will have to remove the stone to the smallest fragments. Otherwise, do not achieve a stable remission of the disease. Because, if the stone particles remain, they later time again will acquire salt and turn into stones.
3. Is recorded on a laser
Before you go to the hospital for surgery, ask how equipment is equipped with a medical facility. If you are using a video system, through which stones lead through a very small incision, it is already very good.
However, there is a more advanced technique - laser. Special installation crushes the stone almost to dust, but very delicate, completely without damaging the tissue being nearby. The crushed stone mass after safely excreted through the urinary tract.
In many clinics such operations are done today is literally in a day hospital. And in fact the intervention processes are the minimum of time. A total hospital patient spends only 3 days together with the preliminary survey (whereas previously spent at least 7).
4. We examine stones
This is an extremely important point. Stones or shredded mass, which appeared on their own or extracted by the surgeon, it is necessary to transfer to the laboratory for chemical analysis of the composition. According to what is indicated in the printout of results, you can determine the cause of stone formation. And that means more precisely paint the diet for patients in the future.
5. Every year we do ultrasound of the kidneys
How can identify urolithiasis in the bud? Starting from the age of 20, should be at least once a year undergo renal ultrasound, even if this study is not envisaged in the program clinical examination or baseline medical examination.
If something is found, it is necessary to look for a good urologist, who are likely to prescribe more and computed tomography in order to determine the location of a stone / rock. Or maybe the right and for some additional tests.
Remember:urolithiasis - it is not always hereditary. Pathology can be acquired. In addition, the disease is "younger" - are increasingly turning for help those who are under 30 years. After all, today's children almost from birth eating artificial food, so from an early age they have the metabolism. And it can form stones. Therefore, you should pay maximum attention to their own health: to pass the appropriate examination, to implement the recommendations, listen to the advice of doctors.
