What does urinary stones look like

Urinary stones are a disease that the human body is relatively easy to suffer from. When suffering from this disease, the impact on the human body is relatively large, and symptoms such as abdominal cramps, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, and headache will appear. Perhaps many people have heard of the disease of urinary stones, but they don’t know much about what urinary stones look like, and may have big questions. So let me introduce what urinary stones look like.

The appearance of urinary stones is basically similar to the small stones people see in daily life, and they are usually yellow. Urinary stones are divided into several types according to the anatomical site: renal pelvis, ureter, bladder, and urethral stones. They are more common in the renal pelvis and ureter. The symptoms are typical urinary tract irritation signs (dysuria, urgency, and frequency of urination), which may be accompanied by hematuria. After complete obstruction of the urinary tract, urine reflux can cause retrograde infection, resulting in fever, fatigue, drowsiness, irritability and other poisoning symptoms. Color Doppler ultrasound examination can be used to confirm the diagnosis.

Prevention and treatment of urinary tract infection Urinary tract infection is the main local factor in the formation of urinary stones and is directly related to the prevention and treatment of urolithiasis. Urinary tract infections caused by Proteus, Staphylococcus and Streptococcus can easily induce stones. These bacteria can decompose urea into ammonia, making urine alkaline, which easily causes urate to precipitate and form stones. In addition, bacteria and the pus and necrotic tissue caused by them can also serve as the core of stones and lead to stone formation. Therefore, timely treatment of urinary tract infection is very important to prevent the recurrence of stones.

Taking Chinese medicine at regular intervals, soaking the Chinese medicine Centella asiatica and Sea Sand in water can help expel small stones from the body. If conditions permit, you can also ask a Chinese medicine practitioner to prescribe a simple Chinese medicine prescription based on your condition. Drink more water You should develop a habit of drinking more water to increase urine output, which is called "internal washing", which is beneficial to the excretion of various salts and minerals in the body. Of course, you should pay attention to drinking water hygiene and water quality, and avoid drinking water with too high calcium content. Get more active You should get more active in your daily life, such as walking, jogging, doing gymnastics, etc. When you are in good physical condition, you can also jump on the spot, which is also beneficial to prevent the recurrence of urinary stones.
