The goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms and prevent further symptoms. (Kidney stones that are small enough usually pass on their own.) Treatment varies depending on the type of stone and how severe the symptoms are. People with severe symptoms might need to be hospitalized.

 

When the stone passes, the urine should be strained and the stone saved and tested to determine the type.

 

Drink at least 6 - 8 glasses of water per day to produce a large amount of urine. Some people might need to get fluids through a vein (intravenous).

 

Pain relievers can help control the pain of passing the stones (renal colic). For severe pain, you may need to take narcotic pain killers or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as ibuprofen.

 

Depending on the type of stone, your doctor may prescribe medicine to decrease stone formation or help break down and remove the material that is causing the stone. Medications can include:

 

Allopurinol (for uric acid stones)

Antibiotics (for struvite stones)

Diuretics

Phosphate solutions

Sodium bicarbonate or sodium citrate (which make the urine more alkaline)

 

Surgery is usually needed if:

 

The stone is too large to pass on its own

The stone is growing

The stone is blocking urine flow and cuasing an infection or kidney damage

 

Today, most treatments are much less invasive than in the past.

 

Extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy is used to remove stones slightly smaller than a half an inch that are located near the kidney. This method uses ultrasonic waves or shock waves to break up stones. Then, the stones leave the body in the urine.

 

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is used for large stones in or near the kidney, or when the kidneys or surrounding areas are incorrectly formed. The stone is removed with an endoscope that is inserted into the kidney through a small opening.

 

Ureteroscopy may be used for stones in the lower urinary tract.

 

Standard open surgery (nephrolithotomy) may be needed if other methods do not work or are not possible.

gud day po.

 

ano po ba ang remedy sa anal secretions? palaging basa ang anal area.

 

anong kulay nung secretions mo? parang nana ba? nagkarron ka ba ng parang pigsa before malapit sa butas ng puwet bka kasi mayroon ka nung tinatawag na fistula in ano.

 

opo...parang nana po. di ko maalala kung nagkaroon ako ng pigsa before malapit sa butas ng puwet. ... ang naaalala ko lang eh... nagsimula ito nung nagkamali ako at naiisuot ko ang underwear na hindi akin.

 

ano po ba ang remedy nito?

Mga sir ang pigsa po ba nakakahawa?

 

kapatid ko kc nagkapigsa sa kili-kili hehe.. pero di naman kami tabe matulog. nagkapigsa ako sa tagiliran ko after niya gumaling.

 

Thanks...di tuloy ako makapag SPA.. hehe :upside:

 

hindi sya dapat nakakahawa kasi un body nya un problem hindi masyado nacontrol un skin infection kaya sya ngdevelop ng pigsa. pero if you have an open wound and nadikit ka sa area na may infection sya there is a possibilty that you might get the infection also. you just have to take antibiotics clean the wound and as soon as lumabas yung nana try to squeeze it all out because it will help in controlling the infection

well as you describe it you might have a fistula in ano and the treatment for it is surgery. the thing is that this infection made a tract from inside your anus then out to the skin. this is causing the constant secretions unless the tract is removed then your secretions will not dissappear

i don`t want to scare you bro, pero mas mabuti na mag-konsulta na kayo agad sa ENT specialist..

 

the symptoms you described might be attributed to a tumor growing sa panga ng father mo..

Good Afternoon,

 

Just wanna ask po about tiridium...and if theres any alternative like drops para tuluyan na syang mawala...

 

Any Ophtalmologist here? Seeking your Help...

 

Thanks

Pterigium is brought about by exposure to the elements, especially the sun. There is no full-proof way of getting rid of it, unless you decide to live and work only at night. :blush: the only way to get rid of it is through surgically removing the excess tissue, but then, there is a chance of the growth growing back after years/decades.

there are available eye drops, but these only delay the growth and spread.
