Patient's question:
I felt some pain while urinating a few days ago. I thought it was a urinary tract infection and took anti-inflammatory medication, but it didn't relieve the pain. After checking at the hospital, the doctor said I have urinary stones. Because the stone is small, it can be passed on its own without surgery. I want to know what I should do.Doctor's answer:
Drink plenty of water: Increase urine volume to flush the urinary tract, promote the downward movement of stones, and dilute urine to reduce crystal precipitation.Herbal treatment: In daily life, drinking tea as a beverage can not only prevent and improve the treatment of stones but also regulate the balance of the human body's physiological mechanisms and enhance the body's resistance. These herbal teas mainly include dandelion, disk-clearing grass, honeysuckle, and coptis root.
Acupuncture method: Increase peristalsis in the renal pelvis and ureter, which is beneficial for the excretion of stones. Regular jumping activities or inverted postures and tapping exercises for renal caliceal stones also facilitate stone excretion.
