As in any sickness, the key to the formation of kidney stones is in prevention especially since a person who had more than one kidney stone in her life will most likely develop kidney stones in the future.
Regular check-up to the doctor is one way to ensure that all kinds of sickness are prevention. Paying extra for a regular set of tests like sugar, urine and blood tests will even better your chances of preventing certain conditions from developing.
Think how less expensive that would be than when you actually become sick and you have to buy expensive medicines and pay a lot more for certain procedures.
Most kidney stones pass through the urinary system easily so drink lots and lots of water and do not mind going to the bathroom to urinate every now and then. Often times, people with kidney stones are only told to take lots of fluids and maybe some medication.
Although the actual kidney stones are important in assessing the actual status so the patient may also be tasked to preserve their kidney stones and submit it for testing. Depending on the diagnosis, patients urine may also have to be analyzed for a whole day. Another day after initial medication or treatments are taken and done will also be set aside for another 24 hour urine analysis.
A change in lifestyle is also a very effective treatment. If you are not the type who drinks lots of fluids then it is high time that you learn to drink enough liquids in a day so that you will be able to produce at least 2 quarts of urine. While certain food are believed to contribute tot eh formation of kidney stones, moderation is really the key.
In the past, food high in calcium are shunned but recent studies have proven that calcium high foods including dairy products like milk can actually prevent formation of calcium stones. What should be watched out is the intake of calcium pills, food added with vitamin D and certain types of antacids that have a calcium base.
A person who has a relatively high presence of acid in his urine is also advised to eat less meat, fish and poultry because eating these will further increase acid in urine.
There are medicines that maybe prescribed by doctors to somehow control the production of acid and alkali in urine. This is vital because acid or alkali are key factors in the forming of crystals. Allopurinol can be useful for cases of hyperuricosuria.
Hydrochlorothiazide favors calcium retention hence reducing the amount of calcium released by the kidneys which is in turn results to low or no formation of calcium tones. Sodium cellulose phosphate, on the other hand, secretes calcium in the intestines to prevent it from leaking to the urine.
As for surgical procedures in taking out kidney stones, the very popular procedure is Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy or ESWL. This most frequently used procedure works when shock waves that are created outside the body travel into the skin and body tissues until they reach the denser stones. The shock causes the tones to break down in smaller particles so that they can easily pass through the urinary tract.
This sounds simple but potential risks and complications that may arise should always be discussed with the doctor before agreeing to go through the procedure.

I am really bad at preventative medicine. Especially when it involves going to the doctor. I have not been to the doctor in 15 years. This article really opened my eyes about kidney stones because I know my habits can easily cause them to develop and I have to say it does seem important to have blood, urine and sugar tests often to try and prevent this painful condition and many others. I think I will set up a doctors appointment just to see where I stand. Thanks for the great article!! ~Engress~
Kidney stones are the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life!! Thank you for this article, prevention is definitely the way to go. I drink a glass of water with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar every day to keep my body alkaline and prevent new ones. Herbal and homeopathic remedies are also great for this purpose.
Hi maria,
I’ve also had kidney stones and completely agree with your comment!
Hi Engress,
You sound like me! I would much rather deal with ailments without a doctor, but I will see one if I feel it’s necessary.
