Patient's question:
A while ago, I got kidney stones. Because I didn't take it seriously, it eventually developed into urinary tract obstruction, making urination difficult. The pain was unbearable. After treatment, I have now recovered. I'm wondering what exactly happened.Doctor's answer:
Hello, urinary system stones are a common disease in the urinary system. Stones can be found in any part of the kidney, bladder, ureter, and urethra, with the kidney and ureter being the most common sites. Clinically, sudden severe lower back pain is most common, radiating to the perineum and scrotum. In severe cases, symptoms such as hematuria or pyuria may occur. Based on your description, it is currently unclear what your specific condition is, so it is recommended that you undergo comprehensive observation. If necessary, it is important to seek medical attention early to identify the cause and receive timely symptomatic treatment as advised by your doctor. In daily life, proper self-care should be maintained, such as: reducing the intake of foods high in oxalates and calcium, such as spinach, rapeseed, kelp, walnuts, beetroot, and chocolate; quitting smoking and alcohol; engaging in appropriate physical exercise; drinking plenty of water; and maintaining a light diet, among others. Wishing you good health.
