What is the cause of urethral stones? What are the daily contraindications for patients with urethral stones
Post Date September, 06 2023
Most of the stones in the upper urinary tract come from the Urinary system, especially the bladder, and can also occur in the urethra rest room. The stone is very hard. In male patients, stones are mainly embedded in the urethra, urethral navicular fossa, or external urethral opening of the prostate. Patients with urethral stones have extremely fine urinary lines during urination, and may even experience urinary accumulation. In addition, the area where the stone is embedded is painful, accompanied by lower urinary tract infection. Frequent exposure to anterior urethral stones during diagnosis. Some patients see stones through the urethral opening, which are secondary stones in the urethral rest room. There is no change in urine flow during urination, but there is secretion from the urethral opening, which can also come into contact with stones.
Etiology and pathology
The causes of stone formation are very complex, and there are still some unresolved issues to this day. In summary, it is closely related to systemic metabolism, local infection environment of the urinary system, and dietary factors. In recent years, some scholars have classified stones into two categories: metabolic stones and infectious stones. Urine contains many components, which can be roughly divided into crystals and colloids. Crystals contain Calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, Trimagnesium phosphate iron, uric acid, urate, humbunin, and limb amino acid. Colloids mainly refer to mucins and mucopolysaccharides. When stones form, there is usually a core first, and then crystals and colloids in urine deposit around this core to increase. Cell debris, blood clots, necrotic tissue, bacteria, and foreign bodies in vitro can serve as the core to form stones. Urethral stones can also be divided into two categories: primary and secondary, and their causes are as follows:
1. Primary urethral calculi refer to the calculi formed in the urethra from the beginning. Urethral stricture, infection, retention cyst, mucosal injury, diverticulum and foreign bodies are its causes.
2. Secondary urethral stones refer to stones formed in the Urinary system on the urethra and then discharged into the urethra. They stay in the urethra, mostly near the physiological expansion and stenosis of the urethra. Therefore, urethral stones are mostly found in the prostate, bulb, penis, boat and external orifice of the urethra.
What should patients pay attention to in their daily life?
1. Drink less water, hold urine frequently without holding it, and drink more urine to help bacteria, carcinogens, and easily calculi quickly pass out of the body, reducing the chance of kidney and bladder damage. On the contrary, it is easy to form stones.
2. People who frequently drink beer believe that beer is beneficial for urination and can prevent the occurrence of urinary stones. In fact, malt juice for brewing beer contains acid substances such as calcium, oxalic acid, black nucleotide and purine nucleotide. Their mutual use can increase uric acid in human body and become an important incentive for Kidney stone disease.
