A
Kidney Stone is basically a hard, crystalline mineral material that is formed
within one's kidney (or urinary tract).
At an average, one in every 20 people develops a kidney stone at some point in
time in their life.
These
stones are known as one of the most physically painful conditions.
The
cause behind the formation of a kidney stone varies according to the type of
the stone that has formed.
Diagnosis
The
diagnosis of a kidney stone will require a complete health background
assessment and also a thorough physical exam in addition to other tests.
Treatment
The
treatment of kidney stones is tailored according to the kind of stone that one
is suffering from. The urine might be strained to collect stones for
evaluation. Drinking a lot of water every day will increase the urine flow. People
who are dehydrated or even those who have severe nausea and vomiting might also
need intravenous fluids.
The
other means of treatment are as follows:
Medication
Narcotic
medicines may be enough for short-term
pain relief. If an infection is detected, it needs to be further treated by
antibiotics. There is a longer list of medicines that is specific for the kind
of stone one suffers from.
Lithotripsy
ExtracorporealShock Wave lithotripsy is done by using sound waves in order to just break up
the large stones so that the smaller fragments can pass down the urethras into
your bladder more easily. This process tends to be more uncomfortable and might
even require the patient to be injected with mild anaesthesia. It could cause
bruises on the abdomen and the back, in addition to bleeding around the kidney
and nearby organs.
Tunnel Surgery
The
stone can also be removed by creating a small incision in your back and might
be needed only when: a.) The stone starts
to cause an obstruction or an infection that damages the kidneys. b.) The stone has
become way too large to pass through.
Ureteroscopy
The
doctor might use and instrument which is called an ureteroscope in order to
remove a stone that gets stuck in the urethra or your bladder. A small cage,
guided by a tiny camera is used to snag the stone as the doctor removes it.
Prevention
The
fact that prevention is much better than cure isn’t lost on anybody. The key to
preventing getting a Kidney Stone starts
with proper hydration. Drink up to about 12 glasses of water daily. This water
intake is going to help flush your kidneys.
