Kidney Stones Removal - How To Get Rid Of Kidney Stones Naturally Without Surger

Posted by DrPaul Cozzi on May 11th, 2021

Kidney stones removal is a procedure that involves a variety of medical procedures that are usually performed by urologists, or doctors who specialize in the field of medicine. Typically, when a patient has a kidney stone that causes pain, nausea and other symptoms, he or she will be directed to see a urologist at the local hospital. At the hospital, the doctor will order various tests and then instruct the patient on what he or she should do to correct the problem. If the patient has a strong enough stomach, the doctor may also be able to perform surgery on the individual. Before you consent to any type of surgery, however, it is important that you speak with your primary care doctor first.

One common type of kidney stone removal involves the use of an anesthetic. Generally, once a person has been deemed "conscious", he or she can be sedated with general anesthesia. Once unconscious, the patient will be put under observation for any other complications associated with the stones. While under observation, the individual's general health and state of health will also be evaluated. If the doctor deems that the patient is a high risk for complications, additional tests may be ordered.

Another way to remove kidney stones without having to undergo a lengthy surgical procedure is through the use of a kidney transplant. As you may already know, kidney transplants are a common way of dealing with kidney problems, especially in people who may be suffering from chronic kidney disease. Unlike kidney cancer, kidney transplants are relatively non-invasive procedures, as well as fairly effective. In fact, kidney transplants have very few risks involved, depending on the patient's overall health. However, if a person has developed chronic kidney infection, he or she may not be a good candidate for a kidney transplant.

The final way to remove kidney stones without undergoing a surgical procedure is through the use of an ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy). This treatment involves the use of electric shock waves to remove the stones from the body. Unlike some other surgical treatments, ESWL is not considered a major surgery, and can typically be done in a matter of minutes. The treatment itself does not take long, but many patients choose to have several additional visits to the hospital in order to recover from the surgical procedure.

Depending on the size and composition of the stone, a patient may be advised to have the kidneys removed in one fell swoop. In this case, the stones are usually removed surgically. However, the recovery process can be rather extensive, and patients may require extended hospitalization. Recovery time for removal of kidney stones ranges from three days to a week. In many instances, patients are able to return to work and to other daily activities within a few days to a week, although this all depends on the particular type of stone that was removed, as well as the size of the stone.

Once you have completed your hospital stay, you will be sent home to recover. During this period, it is important that you follow your doctor's instructions for any changes in your diet, medications, or exercise routine. You should also not drink any fluids for a few days after kidney surgery in order to help your body recover. Once you have been discharged from the hospital, you will be able to make your way back to the healthiest way possible, avoiding potential complications such as infection.

In order to remove kidney stones at home, you can first attempt nephrolithotomy, which is a surgical procedure in which the nephrolithotomy tubes, or nephrolithotomy anchors, are removed. The nephrolithotomy tubes will be removed via a minor incision in the abdomen, after which they can be placed through an incision in the side of the bladder. Nephrolithotomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure, and there is very little risk of complications. The procedure may require several days to recover from, including pain medication, and you will be released from hospital care after one week.

Kidney stones can form in both the urinary tract directly above or below the bladder. If the stones occur in the urinary tract, the procedure may require ureteroscopy in order to locate and take out the stones. If the stones form in the urinary tract, your doctor will perform a simple ureteroscopy followed by a urohydrosurgery (urine detaching) to completely remove the stone. In most cases, the procedure is performed in the physician's office or in a hospital operating room and typically only takes about two to four hours, depending on the size of the stone.
