Suggest Ways To Manage Severe Pain Due To Kidney Stones
My husband has only one kidney. We went to e.r eight days ago. Cat scan showed severe pain in back due to kidney stone. Flo max and four days of pain mess given. Improved until last night back to more severe pain. Is there a natural product that may help send the stone on its way to being history?
The most helpful remedy is sufficient fluids intake, raspberry tea and smasmolytics. Most small stones in patients with relatively mild hydronephrosis can be treated with observation and acetaminophen. More serious cases with intractable pain may require drainage with a stent or percutaneous nephrostomy. Treatment of nephrolithiasis involves emergency management of renal (ureteral) colic, including surgical interventions where indicated, and medical therapy for stone disease. In emergency settings where concern exists about possible renal failure, the focus of treatment should be on correcting dehydration, treating urinary infections, preventing scarring, identifying patients with a solitary functional kidney,. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
