Question

I want ot know how it forms and the ways of preventing it.

Answer 1

Thanks for the appreciation you have shown for the site. I assure you that the efforts will continue to keep it up.

Ureteric stones are formed in kidney and from kidney they may drop down into the ureter. The cause of stone formation is still not completely understood but some factors like diet,water intake,and heredity and climate are known to be important.

There are no medicines that would definitely remove a stone in the ureter in all patients. Majority of the ureteric stones which are less than 6 mm in width will come out only by drinking more water (3-4 Litres)/day. Occasionally antispasmodics may help spontaneous passage.

The kidney is the organ which gets damaged by ureteric stone. If there is a good reason for surgical intervention then the kind of treatment is decided by the location of the stone in the ureter. If it high, ESWL or lithotripsy may be

done if kidney is functioning, otherwise for high stones PCNL may have to be done.



For the stones lower in the ureter, endoscopic (ureteroscopic) removal is needed and is the best choice. Avoid the so called basketing.

You can get your stones removed (if removal is required) by any urologist having over one year of experience in practice. Get it done at a hospital where the operation and anaesthesia facilities are full. Do not compromise on the anaesthesia and OT facility.

KIDNEY STONES


The formation of stones in the kidneys or urinary tract is not an uncommon disorder. The stones are formed from the chemicals usually found in the urine such as acid, phosphorus, calcium, and oxalic acid. Stones may form and grow because the concentration of a particular substance in the urine exceeds its solubility.

poor Water intake, Excess dehydration, high calcium food all contribute to the formation of stone (calculus) in kidney. Stones may also be formed in other places like urinary bladder, Gall bladder etc. It is very painful once if stone is formed. Thepain usually starts from Loin(lower back_ and radiates to groin(thigh meets with hip) Pain will be unbearable as long as it is removed from body.
Usually excess intalke of water gives good relief. Vegetables with diuretic(urine forming) actions do give best resuls(e.g banana tree stem-pith, raddish, tender coconut, barley water, Hemedismus indicus, Tribulus terretris are few examples). avoiding foods rich in calcium like milk, cabbage, cauliflower etc will be beneficial.

Answer 5

"Stones" are usually formed from crystals that should have been excreted by the kidney but are not. Alcohol is one substance that prevents the excretion of these crystals. The stones maybe composed of cholesterol or uric acid crystals. These maybe derived from food that we eat. Uric acid crystals come from certain types of Kales, from visceral organs and legumes. So these type of food should be avoided together with alcohol..
