Urinary stones Diseases are one of the most painful urologic disorders. Most urinary stones pass through the collecting system in an uneventful fashion. When a ureteral stone becomes obstructed it can result in severe pain with associated nausea and
(prHWY.com) September 13, 2012 - Delhi, India -- New Delhi, 13 September 2012:- A Urologist is a physician who specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases pertaining to the urinary tract of both male as well as female patients. The urinary tract of the human body consists of the kidneys, bladder,liver, ureter and the genital area. When the question was put before several leading urologists in Delhias to what was the most common ailment which they treated, the answer was unanimous: urinary stone disease.
The regular accumulation of various chemicals from the urine such as calcium, uric acid, magnesium ammonium phosphate and amino acids typically lead to the formation of small crystals which are medically known as "calculi" and more commonly known as "stones". For the most part, these small crystals pass out of the body through the urine without causing any obvious physical discomfort. It is only when these stones become enlarged in size and obstruct the free flow of urine from the body that the onset of urinary stone disease occurs.
These urinary stones usually originate in the kidneys and may cause blockages in the kidneys itself or in the bladder or in the ureter. Whenever these urinary stones get lodged somewhere in the urinary tract, the free passage of urine is prevented and this gives rise to pain and discomfort.
It is important to know here, what are the symptoms which indicate the presence of urinary stones in the body:
1. The presence of blood in the urine is the prime indicator of the existence of these stones in the body.
2. This is accompanied by severe pain in the abdominal area which also brings about nausea and vomiting.
3. Some patients of urinary stone disease also experience fever and shivering when they are suffering from the adverse effects of urinary stones.
It is absolutely important that these symptoms whether experienced together or in isolation are not ignored but a doctor is consulted right away. A urologist in Delhi will diagnose the presence of calculi in the urinary tract by the means of an ultrasound of the abdomen or a CT scan.
The treatment of urinary stones is not a very complex procedure and rarely does it call for any kind of invasive surgery these days. Doctors at the first stage try to dissolve the calculi in the body through the prescription of oral medication and a high fluid intake. The second and the most common form of treatment is the breaking down of the calculi by the passing of shock waves, this procedure is non-invasive and is known as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL).
The good news is that urinary stone diseaseis not a life-threatening condition nor does it give rise to more complex manifestations and most importantly comfortably treatableas urologists in Delhi reassure.
About Dr. Rajesh Taneja:
Dr. Rajesh Taneja, a leading urologist in Delhi explains that the most common reason for the formation of urinary stones is the de-hydration of the human body due to low fluid intake and a high intake of proteins, salt and sugar. Both these factors are very common in the lifestyles of people living in Delhi and that also explains the high incidence of urinary stone disease here. So it is obvious that a balanced diet and maintaining good hydration levels of the body are keys to preventing the formation of these stones.
