Q: and what was your experience like?How big or small does a kidney stone have to be in order to have this particuliar treatment done?ty

A: I had a procedure done several years ago when my doctor diagnosed me with having several kidney stones.It was an outpatient procedure & completely painless. They used some type of ultrasound machine to “blast” the kidney stones into pieces that were then small enough for me to pass. I was given a small strainer to use every time I urinated for the next week & was to examine the strainer afterwards, looking for any “blasted” pieces. I found many! I then collected them into a vial as directed & gave it to my doctor who sent them (the pieces of kidney stones) for an analysis.That was it! I’ve never had another day of pain:)

What are the chances of having only one kidney stone…ever?

Q: I have just been diagnosed with have a kidney stone stuck right where the eureter enter the bladder. Fortunately? it is only 2mm big. It hasn’t passed yet, but let me tell you, so far that little sucker has been a painful visitor.What I would like to know is, is it possible that this will be a one time deal?

A: First of all u have to know what r the causes/ conditions that can produce a a kidney stone. Naturally if u r aware and prevent the causes/ conditions u can make it a one-time-deal. Causes: -Just rememberKidney is known as RENAL. so: -R – Renal infection i.e. kidney infection. This commonly occurs when a person frequently suffers from Urinary Tract Infection. A good hygiene and sanitation can prevent recurrent infections.E – Eating or dietetic habit. Deficiency of Vit-A frequently increases the chance of kidney stone. So be sure u have that in your diet.N – No citrates in urine. This is principally seen in female during menstruation where the female hormones decrease citrate excretion in urine. Citrate again dissolves phosphate and carbonates. If citrate is excreted less then naturally the phosphates and carbonates could not be dissolved and thus can form a carbonate or phosphate stone. To prevent this lime juices can be taken thrice or four times daily.A – Altered concentration of the solutes. In hot climates dehydration causes increased concentration of the calcium, and phosphates thus favouring the stone formation. So drink lots of water (and if preferable lime water) to maintain an adequate urinary output.L – Less drainage of urine. Stones are prone to occur in patients with obstruction to the free passage of urine. So b sure that ur urinary passage is not obstructed otherwise with any tumors.Apart from this there are some other causes/ conditions which u should be aware of: – Static condition – If u lie still from any other medical problem (e.g. paralysis, or following any major surgery) stone is prone to develop. If u do follow any major surgery or if anyone suffers from paralysis (hemiplegia/paraplegia) do try to mobilize at least for 30 minutes.E – Endocrine i.e. hormonal problem. Oversecretion from parathyroid gland (parathormone excess – hyperparathyroidism) could cause renal stone. Check out if u r suffering from this condition or not.I do hope u enjoy a stone-free kidney for the rest of ur life.
