Mrs. Wang has been pregnant for 5 months. On this day, she suddenly felt severe pain in the right waist, sweating all over her body and feeling like vomiting. Mr. Wang looked at it and hurriedly sent Mrs. Wang to the emergency department of the hospital. Only after B-ultrasound examination did she find out that it was ureter stones.
These conditions indicate that stones are easy to get.
The doctor told Xiao Wang and his wife that during the October pregnancy, with the enlargement of the uterus, the ureter and bladder were oppressed, and the urine flow would gradually slow down, which was easy to form stones.
At the same time, if kidney stones exist before pregnancy, changes in some physiological states during pregnancy may also cause these stones to fall onto the ureter, causing obstruction.
The most common symptom is renal colic, which is the severe waist pain felt by Mrs. Wang, and sometimes abdominal pain, hematuria, nausea and vomiting.
Seeing here, some pregnant mothers may wonder why ureteral stones are not easy to find as soon as possible.
This is because the increasing uterus during pregnancy will compress the bladder, causing symptoms such as urgency and frequency of urination, which is easily confused with ureteral stones.
Ureteral calculi are so harmful, how should pregnant mothers prevent them?
There are five main aspects that need to be paid attention to:
-
It is better to have a routine examination before pregnancy. If urolithiasis exists, it is better to eliminate hidden dangers before pregnancy. You can also find a specialist to evaluate before pregnancy.
-
At ordinary times, you can drink more water and increase urine volume, which is conducive to the discharge of stone crystals, reduces the risk of stone formation, and does not hold your urine.
-
Proper calcium supplement and balance of calcium intake, especially dietary calcium intake, are essential. Dietary calcium intake will not increase stone formation. So don’t worry too much.
-
Diet should eat more vegetables and fruits, not only can reduce the formation of stones, but also can play a role in moistening the intestinal tract. However, spinach, strong tea and coffee with high oxalic acid content should be eaten as little as possible.
-
Once some of the symptoms mentioned above appear, you must go to the hospital for B-ultrasound examination.
In short, small stones may lead to great disasters, so pregnant mothers should pay attention to observe whether there is discomfort in their bodies during pregnancy, and they must go to the hospital in time when symptoms occur.
