How to expel urethral stones

Patients with urethral stones are in great pain because the urethra in the patient's urethra has been blocked by the stones, resulting in symptoms of obstruction, accompanied by obvious characteristics of urethral stones such as frequent urination and urgency. Therefore, how to solve the difficulty of excretion as quickly as possible and knock out the stones in the urethra tube is an important issue. Therefore, the first priority for patients with urethral stones is to solve the problem of difficulty in urination, which is a prerequisite for treating the disease.

Dietary taboos

1. Limit the intake of foods high in oxalic acid: Most of the oxalic acid in urine comes from the body's metabolism, and a small amount comes from food. However, you should still pay attention to reducing the intestinal absorption of oxalic acid and try to avoid eating foods rich in oxalic acid such as chocolate, coffee, etc.

2. Control the intake of animal protein foods: Excessive intake of animal protein can increase the excretion of oxalate and calcium in urine, reduce the excretion of citrate, lower urine pH and increase the chance of urinary stone formation. Therefore, we should pay attention to controlling excessive intake of animal protein in our diet.

3. Avoid eating high-salt foods: High-salt foods can increase urinary calcium and reduce the excretion of citrate, thereby increasing the incidence of urinary stones. Therefore, use less salt when cooking in daily meals, eat less pickles, bacon and fried foods to keep your diet light. At the same time, remember to drink plenty of water to prevent the occurrence and recurrence of urinary stones.

Diet plans for different stone patients

Adjust the diet appropriately according to the composition of the stones. For example, patients with oxalate stones should eat less foods rich in oxalic acid, such as potatoes, spinach, etc. Oral vitamin B6 can reduce the excretion of oxalate in urine, and oral magnesium oxide can increase the solubility of oxalate in urine. Patients with phosphate stones should follow a low-phosphorus and low-calcium diet and take ammonium chloride orally to acidify the urine, which facilitates the dissolution of phosphate. Patients with urate stones should eat foods rich in purine, such as liver, kidney and beans, and take citrate mixture or sodium bicarbonate orally to alkalize the urine and keep the urine pH above 6.5.

Treatment

Generally speaking, if the stones occurring in the kidneys and ureters are smaller than 6mm, you can take oral stone-excreting drugs and drink plenty of water to promote stone excretion. If the stone is larger than 1 cm, then extracorporeal vibration lithotripsy should be considered, and even percutaneous nephrolithotomy or ureteroscopy may be required to completely crush the stone.

The advantage of the extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is that it does not cause any damage to the internal organs, and the stones are removed completely without pain for the patients, which is easy to accept. However, the extracorporeal impact lithotripsy is harmful to the internal organs and is relatively painful. The technology of the extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy adopts high-frequency superconducting fluid dynamics and seismic dynamics three-dimensional stone removal technology, and large-scale digital B-ultrasound assisted positioning. It has the characteristics of accurate positioning, fast stone removal, and can remove bile duct stones and ureteral stones as they are removed, especially for the intrahepatic bile duct stasis and sand-like stones.
