4mm kidney stone

Kidney stones often do not have obvious symptoms in the early stages of the disease, so many patients ignore the fact that the kidney stones are growing larger and larger. In fact, kidney stones should be treated in a timely manner when they are small, so as to effectively avoid the occurrence of more serious stones. 4 mm kidney stones are considered a relatively small size. What are the treatment options for 4 mm kidney stones?

Most kidney stone medicines on the market are anti-inflammatory and stone-expelling drugs. Patients can feel a significant relief of their symptoms after using them, but they don’t pay attention to them anymore. When they are not careful, the stones will recur. This happens repeatedly, and it seems that the medicine is ineffective.

Generally speaking, kidney stones of 0.4 cm in size are not considered particularly serious, but their small size does not mean that they will be easy to expel. You should know that the different numbers of stones inside the kidneys will directly lead to changes in the stone-dissolving effect after taking the medicine, so there will naturally be a certain degree of difficulty in excreting them. But generally, when the stone area is less than 0.4CM, the stone area can indeed begin to shrink after taking the medicine. As long as the stones become smaller, the frequent excretion of urine will naturally cause the stones to leave the kidneys.

We can help the stones to be expelled on their own by drinking plenty of water, taking Chinese medicine to dispel stones and relieving stranguria, and doing moderate exercise. For those with colic, use analgesics and antispasmodics. Patients with concurrent infection were given anti-infection treatment at the same time. Because kidney stones must pass through the ureters to be discharged on their own.

Experts point out that since the human ureter is only 3-4mm, general stone-removing drugs are only effective for stones within this range. Most stone patients have stones larger than this size, so symptomatic drugs must be used to soften and dissolve the stones into powdered calcium and then excrete them from the body with urine. At the same time, it is more important to conduct comprehensive conditioning based on the patient's condition and completely change the stone constitution. This can ensure that the stones do not recur and can be said to be a complete cure.

How to treat kidney stones of 4 mm? I hope that friends with kidney stones can have better ways to treat kidney stones. Patients with kidney stones should actively receive treatment after diagnosis. At the same time, they should also actively do health care in daily life, such as drinking more water, etc., which will help promote the effect.
