Kidney Stones Treatment To End The Pain
Kidney stones treatment is dependant on the size of the stone and any related complications brought on by the condition. The main goals of treatment are to relieve the pain, which can be excruciating, and to rid the body of the stones before they cause any further damage.
A prompt diagnosis is the key to beginning an effective treatment plan. One of the most common ways to identify the presence of kidney stones is by taking a blood or urine test. Another option is to undergo an x-ray or ultra scan. This method can also reveal the size of the stone, as well as its position. This information is particularly important if the stone is causing a blockage or obstruction.
Quite often, kidney stones are very small and will eventually pass out of the body through your urine. Drinking plenty of fluids, preferably water, will help to flush the stones out of your system more quickly.
If a stone is large and causing an obstruction, hospital treatment is usually required. A large stone can cause internal damage, so should be removed as soon as possible.
If the stone is lodged in the ureter – the tube which connects the urethra to the kidney- a ureterscope can be guided through to the ureter to locate the stone. Kidney stones are usually treated by removing them, or breaking them in to smaller pieces, which can then be passed out of the body naturally. A small incision in the back is made to access the kidney, where the stone can be removed with the aid of a specialized tool.
A non-surgical alternative is a procedure called extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), which uses shock waves to break up the stone in to smaller pieces. These high-energy sound waves can pass through your body without harming it.
The eventual kidney stones treatment that is recommended will vary for the individual, depending on various factors relating to the stones size and location, but the sooner you seek treatment, the quicker you can end the pain.
