In summer, people sweat a lot due to the hot weather. A little exercise will make you sweat like rain. If you do not drink water timely, the urine will be concentrated. Some components in the urine such as particles, crystals, etc. will be in a supersaturated state. In this case, crystal components are easy to precipitate out to form crystal particles, which slowly accumulate, forming the stones. According to statistics, about 19% of men and 9% of women will get urinary stones in their lives, and there will be low back pain, abdominal pain, and severe pain at the onset. During acute attacks, the pain is severe, which is called "renal colic". Other symptoms include upset stomach, vomiting, darkening of urine or hematuria, frequent urination, and bloody urination, and burning or painful sensation when urinating. If the stone obstruction causes infection, the urine may be turbid or smelly, and the patient may have symptoms such as fever.
How to prevent kidney stones?
1. Pay attention to your diet. Drinking more water could promote the excretion of urine to reduce the time of crystals in the urine. It is recommended to drink 8-10 glasses of water per day, that is, 1500 ml to 2500 ml, to reduce the risk of stone formation. It is recommended to limit the intake of high-calcium foods, such as shrimp skin, tofu, crucian carp, etc. At the same time, it is necessary to take some vitamin D. The intake of excessive protein should be limited, which can lead to an intensification of concentration reactions in the urine, accelerating the formation of crystals, causing an increase in the risk of kidney stones. It is recommended to reduce the intake of foods containing much oxalate, such as beans, coriander, spinach, etc.
2. Do some exercise. Proper exercise promotes human metabolism, enhances physical health, and is also very important for the prevention of kidney stones. Exercise increases urine excretion, which is very helpful for the prevention of kidney stones. It should be noted that exercise should not be too intense.
3. Timely treatment of related diseases. Some kidney diseases, such as infection, lithiasis, etc. may cause the occurrence of kidney stones. Timely treatment of related diseases can effectively prevent the appearance of kidney stones.
4. Maintain good living habits. Developing regular routines, not staying up late, not smoking, not drinking and other good living habits can also effectively prevent the occurrence of kidney stones.
