Kidney stones and bleeding in urine

If elderly people develop kidney stones accompanied by blood in the urine, they should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to clarify the condition and receive treatment to avoid delaying the disease.

Kidney stones are a common problem in the urinary system. They are formed by crystallization of minerals and salts in urine and are easily accumulated in the body of the elderly. Blood in the urine may be caused by stones scraping the inner wall when passing through the urinary tract, often accompanied by symptoms such as pain, frequent urination or urgency. This situation indicates that the kidney stones may be larger or moved to sensitive areas, increasing the risk of damage to the urinary system.

During treatment, some small stones can be discharged by drinking more water and exercising properly, while larger stones may require medication, extracorporeal lithotripsy or surgical intervention. During this period, you should pay attention to reducing the intake of foods containing oxalic acid and high protein, such as spinach, nuts and meat, to prevent the stones from further enlarging. You can take a moderate amount of citric acid foods, such as lemonade, to help prevent the formation of new stones.

Pay attention to whether there are also severe waist and abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or fever. If these symptoms occur, you should see a doctor as soon as possible to determine whether there is a risk of infection or urinary tract obstruction. At the same time, please follow the doctor's advice to receive professional evaluation and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
