How to relieve the pain of kidney stone attack

In daily life, many people actually have bad habits, such as drinking very little water and often eating foods containing a lot of oxalic acid such as spinach, which may lead to kidney stones. I believe everyone knows that kidney stones will cause pain symptoms in patients. In many cases, this pain is severe and patients may even find it unbearable. If the pain is allowed to continue, the patient will undoubtedly be very painful. At this time, certain measures should be taken to relieve the pain to reduce the patient's pain. So, how to relieve the pain of kidney stones? The experts will give you relevant introduction below.

In fact, the pain caused by kidney stones is mainly caused by the natural excretion of stones in the body. Because the stones are stuck in the pipes, they cause a natural reaction of pain. Patients will feel very painful when the attack occurs. The best way is to drink water immediately, about two or three cups, and it is the right amount when you feel the urge to urinate. Afterwards, the pain will gradually disappear, or the pain will be within an acceptable range.

Of course, the principle of drinking water to relieve pain is only to expand the ducts, reduce friction with the stones, and better help the stones to be discharged from the urinary system. It is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure. After the pain disappears, it is best to go to the hospital for stone removal treatment.

After the stones are removed, you should still drink enough water every day and exercise with rope skipping to reduce the incidence of future stone formation.

Precautions

If drinking water does not relieve the pain, it means that the stone is already quite large and you should go to the hospital for anti-inflammatory and stone removal treatment to avoid delays and pain.

examine

1. Urine test

It can detect the presence of urine sugar, urine protein, red blood cells, white blood cells, crystals, bacteria, etc.

2. Blood test

If a routine blood test finds that the white blood cell count is too high, it may indicate an infection. Blood can also be drawn to check kidney function and blood calcium concentration.

3. X-ray examination

X-ray examination is the most important method for diagnosing urinary stones. Including urinary tract plain film, excretory urography, retrograde pyelography, percutaneous renal puncture angiography, etc.

4.B-ultrasound examination

It can diagnose the presence of kidney stones and other associated lesions, and determine whether there is water accumulation in the kidneys. It can especially detect X-ray translucent stones, and can also provide certain evidence for the kidney damage caused by stones and the causes of certain stones. However, B-ultrasound also has certain limitations. It cannot distinguish between renal calcification and stones, cannot intuitively understand the relationship between stones and kidneys, and cannot see the specific impact of stones on the kidneys. More importantly, B-ultrasound cannot provide sufficient evidence on how to treat stones.

5. CT examination

CT examination is currently the first choice for diagnosing stones. CT examination can show the kidney size, contour, kidney stones, hydronephrosis, renal parenchymal lesions and renal parenchyma remnant, and can also identify renal cysts or hydronephrosis; it can identify the causes of urinary tract obstruction caused by other factors outside the urinary tract, such as retroperitoneal tumors, pelvic tumors, etc.; enhanced angiography can understand the function of the kidneys; for acute renal failure caused by stones, CT helps to establish the diagnosis.

6. Magnetic resonance

The combination of MRI water imaging and MRI original images is more accurate and comprehensive, and is very effective in diagnosing urinary tract dilatation, especially for those with renal damage, contrast agent allergy, and contraindications to X-ray examination. It is also suitable for pregnant women and children.
