The signs and symptoms of kidney stones are very noticeable.
Millions of adults deal with the often unbearable symptoms. The kidney
is a very sensitive organ.
When something solid and possibly rough is lodged in the kidney there is going to be an undeniable pain that can cause nausea.
There are three common symptoms that are from kidney stones.
- Lower back pain is the first symptom.
- Nausea is the second symptom.
- Fever is the third symptom.
These
three symptoms show a clear sign of having the stones. Once the stones
are diagnosed you will begin treating the stones which is most often
done from home.
Treating Kidney Stones
If
the stone is too large to pass through and out of the bladder a surgical
procedure is needed. There are two surgical procedures to treat the
large stones.
The first surgery is known as extracorporeal shock
wave lithotripsy. This treatment will break the stones into pieces small
enough to pass through the bladder.
The second surgery consists of the doctor going into the kidneys and removing them himself.
Most
often the stone is small enough to pass on its own. If this is the case
treatment will likely happen from home. Treatment from home consists of
drinking a ton of water as well eating a healthier diet and staying
hydrated.
If the nausea becomes too much to handle the doctor may
prescribe medication to help manage. Vomiting and having the chills is
common and normal when having kidney stones.
There is more than one type of kidney stone.The two most common are the oxalate stones and the uric acid stones.
Oxalate
Stone - This stone is caused by either a high level of oxalate intake
and not enough water or a deficiency in calcium which raises the level
of oxalate in the blood resulting in the same outcome.
Uric acid Stone - When high levels of animal protein is in the diet, the stone will most likely be formed.
Remember
by drinking water as much as possible you are allowing your kidneys to
flush any toxins or minerals out decreasing the chances of a stone
forming.
Symptoms seem to creep up on a person but when they do
you will instantly know it. With the sharp pain you will be seeking
treatment instantly. It is important to prevent the stones once they
have passed out of your system.
