Stones refer to gravel-like pathological products or clumps that form and stagnate into disease in certain parts of the body. They are mainly seen in the gallbladder, bladder, renal pelvis, and can also be seen in the cavity of pancreatic ducts, salivary ducts, etc.
stones are composed of inorganic salts or organic matter. my country is one of the countries with a high incidence of stones. The incidence rate in some areas of southern exceeds 10%.
So, how do stones come about? In fact, many stones are related to eating habits. It can be said that stones are "eated". Bad diet will lead to the appearance of nodules. If you want to prevent them, you must develop good eating habits.
What are the common types of stones?
. Gallstones
Gallstones are a general term for gallbladder stones and liver bile duct stones. Among them, the gallbladder is the site of high incidence of stones.
Asymptomatic gallstones are generally smaller and are not easy to detect. Some people only find out during physical examinations. Because this kind of stone does not hurt or itch, people will feel that it doesn’t matter. But in fact, once a small gallstone falls into the common bile duct, it will cause the stone to become immobilized, which can easily lead to the appearance of acute cholecystitis or pancreatitis .
. Gastric stones
Gastric stones are very common in animals. Some animals take the initiative to eat them into the stomach to help grind and digest food, while others are difficult to digest plant fibers accumulate in the stomach for a long time, such as beef.
Humans do not need stones to help the stomach digest. Once the stomach stone is formed, the body will be in trouble. Most human stomach stones are tannin stones, which are formed by the reaction of tannin with gastric acid and food.
Larger stones in the stomach will cause abdominal pain and bloating. In severe cases, it may also cause obstruction due to blocking the gastric outlet, or wear down the stomach wall and cause bleeding and perforation!
. Kidney stones
Kidney stones are the main part of the kidney urinary system forming stones. Because the concentration of crystals in the urine increases or the solubility decreases, the precipitated crystals form stones. Therefore, kidney stones are a relatively common type of stones. If you have kidney stones, the patient will feel very painful, and will experience severe pain when urinating, and may even hemorrhage!
Kidney stones are very easy to damage the kidneys, so early diagnosis is very important.
Are stones "eat"?
In our real life, kidney stones and gallbladder stones are very common stone problems. Among these two common problems, gallbladder stones mainly refer to stone problems that occur in the bile duct, and are divided into three types: mixed stones, cholesterol stones and gallbladder pigment stones.
According to relevant data surveys, the body consumes too much sugar, fat, protein and other foods, which can easily increase the incidence of cholesterol stones and gallbladder stones in the body.
The incidence of stones has increased significantly in Europe and the United States and some very developed countries and regions. The main reason for this is that it is the usual intake of too much animal protein, fat and sugar food.
Relevant data shows that if you eat vegetarian food frequently, the incidence of stones will be lower than that of ordinary people. We often find that some people have urinary stones, and these stones are generally calcium-containing ingredients, mostly slight acid and uric acid.
In the field of modern clinical treatment, common stones are mainly urinary tract stones or liver and gallbladder tract stones. Medical experts trace the source and found that bad eating habits are the "culprit".
Some patients have long-term improper diet, resulting in abnormal metabolism, excessive concentrations of oxalic acid, fat, protein and purine (uric acid) in the blood, and "uninvited" stone diseases.
Doctor: Don’t want the stones to grow bigger and bigger. 5 diets should be paid attention to
. Cholesterol Food
Food contains too high fat and cholesterol, which will put a burden on people’s digestion and cause nutrients to be unable to be decomposed and excreted in time.
Long-term intake of large amounts of high fat, high cholesterol foods, such as fat meat, animal viscera, egg yolks, pig brains, and most puffed foods, will cause the human body's digestive function to fail to function normally, causing bile to accumulate in the human body, the concentration will increase, and gallstones are easily formed.
. Always eat high-purine foods
Many people usually like to eat high-purine foods. Excessive intake of high-purine foods is not good for health and may lead to an increase in the amount of uric acid produced by the body. A common change in the increase in uric acid level is that kidney function is damaged, which may cause more stones in the kidneys.
Therefore, you should stay away from high-purine foods and focus on a healthy diet to prevent the increase in uric acid levels from causing stones.
. Succulents and vegetarians
There are often many high-quality proteins in meat dishes. Long-term intake will cause excessive sodium ion in the viscera, which will cause kidney stones, enhance urine concentration, gout and other symptoms.
But don’t worry too much. After the protein is metabolized by the human body and the acidity of the urine is enhanced, the blood calcium will be adjusted to become alkaline calcium. When the acid and alkalinity reach the balance, urinary stones will be possible.
. Soy products
People with urinary tract stones cannot eat soy products. After soy products are metabolized, they are prone to oxalic acid and are rich in calcium, which may form stones and deposit in the urinary system.
In order to avoid the aggravation of the symptoms of stones, you should pay attention to reducing the intake of soy products in your diet, or avoiding taking soy products. Dietary control is very important.
.Pickled food
Many people usually like to eat with a small plate of pickles when eating. This type of food is pickled food. Although it is very delicious and very delicious, it contains a lot of salt.
Regular eating pickled food will not only easily increase blood pressure levels, but also easily cause damage to the kidneys. In addition, it will easily destroy the water and sodium balance.
This will cause severe water deficiency in the body. In this case, kidney stone problems will be more likely to form.
How to promote the excretion of stones in the body?
. Exercise more
If you have stones and still lie in bed and rarely move, at this time, the stones will easily slow down and discharge outward.
Therefore, it is recommended that patients with stones usually insist on going downstairs, going out for a walk, walking, walking stairs, or even jumping ropes. These methods can promote the speedy discharge of stones.
. Drink more water
Kidney stones are caused by less urination, which is caused by calcium oxalate accumulation in the body to form stones. If you drink a lot of water, the amount of urine will increase, and it will also change the pH of the urine, which is conducive to the excretion of stones in the body. In fact, under normal circumstances, drinking more water is also beneficial to our health.
. Drug stone removal
When using the method of drug stone removal, the drugs used are generally Chinese patent medicines. This type of medicine generally has the effect of anti-inflammatory and diuretic, and can also help regulate the metabolic function of kidney , which is beneficial to people's urinary inflammation and diuretics.
In addition, some stone-exciting drugs have the effect of antispasmodic , which helps the ureters expand. When the ureters expand, the urinary tract will become wider, thereby increasing the probability of stones being excreted.
