Patient's question:
Last week, I was diagnosed with urinary system stones.Doctor's answer:
1. Causes urinary tract obstruction. In the early stages of male ureteral stone, as the stones are relatively small, they move within the urethra, causing damage. When the stones become larger, they can block the urethral opening, preventing normal urine discharge. Long-term compression of the urinary tract mucosa leads to epithelial shedding and tissue ulcers, not only damaging the patient's health but also inducing cancer, posing a threat to the life of men.2. Triggers urinary tract infection. For ureteral stone, delayed treatment can lead to urinary tract infection. The friction and irritation caused by stones in the urethra can trigger urinary tract infection or pyelonephritis. As the condition progresses, it may develop into pyonephrosis. Severe urinary tract infection can cause sepsis, endangering the health and life of the patient. Friends, do not overlook the harm of ureteral stones and must seek timely, scientific, and standardized treatment.
3. Damage. When ureteral stones are large or have rough surfaces, their movement within the urethra can damage bodily organs, such as the mucosa of the renal pelvis and ureter. Infection may cause bleeding, erosion, and ulcers. In severe cases, kidney function may be impaired. Long-term stimulation by stones can lead to cancer, which requires attention.
