Patient's question:
I've had a urinary pain for several days. When I went to the nearby hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with urinary system stones. The doctor asked if I usually drink less water and a series of other questions. I have some doubts in my heart. Could you please tell me what are the causes of urinary system stones?Doctor's answer:
The etiology of stone formation is very complex, and some issues remain unresolved to this day. In summary, it is closely related to systemic metabolism, local urinary tract infection microenvironment, and dietary factors. Common causes include:1. Urinary tract infections, urinary tract obstruction, and foreign bodies.
2. Systemic factors such as abnormal metabolism of calcium, phosphorus, uric acid, and oxalates, long-term insufficient water intake, and prolonged bed rest.
3. Hyperparathyroidism.
4. Climate and geographical conditions.
5. Diet and nutrition.
