Renal colic: causes and methods of combating the scourge

It is known that renal colic is a symptom complex in urolithiasis. Kidney stone disease (urolithiasis) is an exchange disease, and occurs as a result of metabolic disorders in the body.

Predisposing factors are male sex (why it is male is not fully understood), malnutrition (eating large amounts of acidic and salty foods), hereditary factor, sedentary lifestyle (everyone knows that after eating, movement is necessary, this increases the promotion of food through the gastrointestinal tract, activation of a number of enzymes and more thorough digestion of food).

How do stones appear? There are many theories of the origin of stones of various types, but the most basic is considered to be a sequential chain of transformations in the body:

- The presence of a chronic infection (for example, chronic pyelonephritis), bacteria are the "core" of the stone;

- The loss of crystals in the presence of provoking factors that are layered on the "core" of bacteria;

- With a long process, the stones can reach gigantic sizes;

What are the stones doing to us? Stones can be found at any level of the urinary system - renal pelvis, kidneys, ureters, bladder. Everything will depend on its localization and the presence of an obstacle to the excretion of fluid from the body. A pebble can be located in the upper sections and, in fact, does not interfere with anyone, without causing painful sensations in a person. The problem arises when there is a discrepancy between the size of the pebble and the diameter of the physiological pathways of the body.

The pain comes unexpectedly, has a pulsating character, can radiate to the lower back, leg from the side of finding an obstacle. The pain is excruciating, patients are rushing around, trying to find a forced position of the body in which the pain will subside or become less intense.

When treating renal colic, you need to remember 3 main points:

- It is necessary to take an antispasmodic remedy.

- Apply a hot compress.

- Dilate blood vessels to improve blood supply.

People with a long history of the disease are "treated" with a hot bath and cognac (it has a vasodilating and antispasmodic effect), but the main thing here is not to overdo it with the amount.

There is a medical and surgical treatment, currently crushing has become very popular.

Drug treatment is long-term, and is more based on preventing the formation of new stones. Crushing of stones comes to the rescue. Ultrasonic and laser crushing are distinguished. The type depends on the composition of the stones, its size and localization in the body.

Currently, medicine is moving away from the surgical removal of stones, it is used only when a stone is found in the parenchyma of the kidney, if it is impossible to use crushing according to indications, when crushing is not effective. 1Win Bonus on Registration.
