Three fist-sized stones removed from 64-year-old man's body

On October 11, according to news from Shing Mark University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital (Dong Nai), doctors at the hospital just performed surgery to remove three large stones as big as a fist from the body of Mr. NVD (64 years old, residing in Ba Ria - Vung Tau province).

A fist-sized stone was removed from the old man's body.

According to the doctor, Mr. D was admitted to the emergency room in a state of acute urinary retention.

Through examination, the doctor discovered that he had large bladder stones, thickened bladder wall, prostate hyperplasia, kidney stasis and right ureteral stones.

The cause is due to large stones causing dilation of the entire ureter.

According to doctors, the above condition not only causes severe pain but also seriously threatens the patient's kidney function.

If not treated promptly, Mr. D may face many dangerous complications such as chronic kidney failure and urinary tract infections.

Therefore, the doctors quickly performed surgery on Mr. D. The doctors had to combine endoscopic prostate tumor removal and open surgery to remove all the stones.

Doctors recommend that to prevent urinary tract stones, people need to drink at least 2 liters of water per day to help dilute urine and eliminate waste products.

Limit foods rich in oxalate such as spinach, peanuts, chocolate. You should also reduce salt and animal protein intake and exercise regularly to improve health and kidney function.
