Cysteolithiasis is a common stone disease in men, which can cause significant harm to patients after its onset. Many patients have already deeply felt this, but many male friends in clinical practice are not yet fully aware of the cause of bladder stones?
Improper diet: Excessive intake of high animal protein in men's daily diet can lead to an increase in calcium and uric acid content in urine and a decrease in urine pH, which is the cause of bladder stones.
Bladder foreign body: If there are some foreign bodies in the male bladder for various reasons, such as sutures, catheters, wax blocks, etc., which can be used as the core, urinary salt deposition around the bladder is also very likely to cause bladder stones.
Secondary infection of the bladder: Secondary infection is also one of the causes of bladder stones. Metabolic diseases such as cystinuria and abnormal metabolism of oxalic acid, calcium, and phosphorus are also causes of bladder stones.
How can you prevent and treat bladder stones when they appear in the body?
Eliminate the cause: correct malnutrition, treat prostate hyperplasia, urethral stricture, and bladder diverticulum.
Conservative treatment: drinking plenty of water combined with traditional Chinese medicine to expel stones.
Electrohydraulic lithotripsy: The probe of the electrohydraulic lithotripter is guided into the bladder through a cystoscope, and under endoscope, the lithotripsy is removed and rinsed, most of which can be cured at one time. Treatment can be completed in 10 minutes. It is currently the preferred method for treating bladder stones. There are also classics, ultrasound, and ballistic pneumatic lithotripsy.
Surgical treatment: suprapubic cystotomy for removal of stones is suitable for patients who have failed the treatment with the above methods. The stones are huge and hard in texture. Children with severe bladder infection should undergo suprapubic cystostomy.
The best way to treat bladder stones is to prevent them. We understand that prevention of bladder stones has a positive effect on our health. Among the causes of bladder stones, diet is a common factor, so prevention of bladder stones requires special attention in diet. How to eat to prevent bladder stones?
Drink plenty of water without holding back urine: Don't hold back urine. Drinking too much urine can help bacteria, carcinogens, and stones quickly pass out of the body, reducing the chance of kidney and bladder damage.
Drink less beer: Some people believe that beer can also have a diuretic effect, which can prevent the occurrence of urinary stones. In fact, the malt juice used to brew beer contains acidic substances such as calcium, oxalic acid, nucleotides, and purine nucleotides. When used together, they can increase uric acid in the body and become an important trigger for kidney stones.
Eat less meat and animal offal: Control the intake of meat and animal offal, as meat metabolism produces uric acid, which is a high purine food and catabolism also produces high blood uric acid, which is a component that forms stones. Therefore, the daily diet should be based on vegetarianism and eat foods rich in fiber.
Eat less salt: A salty diet can increase the workload of the kidneys, while salt and calcium have synergistic effects in the body and can interfere with the metabolic process of drugs for preventing and treating kidney stones. The daily intake of salt should be less than 5 grams.
Caution in eating spinach: According to statistics, more than 90% of stones contain calcium, while calcium oxalate stones account for about 87%. 5%。 If the intake of oxalate in food is excessive and the calcium oxalate in urine is in a supersaturated state, excess calcium oxalate crystals may precipitate from the urine and form stones. Among foods, spinach has the highest oxalate content, and spinach is one of the vegetables that people often eat.
