Osteoporosis
The Uterus is a pair of muscle channels that connect to the pelvis of each kidney on one side and the bladder on the other. They transfer urine from the kidneys and collect them in the bladder. The length of each ureter is between 25 and 30 cm in adults, and the advantage of the ureter has three points is more narrow, the point of contact with the pelvis, and when it passes over the blood vessels iliac, in addition to the point of contact with the bladder, and these points a large role in the formation of gallstones, The kidney stones are the source of the ureteral bone. When the gravel is removed from the kidney pelvis, it may be attached to one of the three points mentioned above.
The incidence of ureteriasis is relatively high, with nearly 12% of males and 7% of females having at least one time in their lives. Most people are 30 to 60 years old, Or if there is a family history of infection, in addition to not drinking enough fluids, suffering from frequent urinary tract infections, as well as taking some types of medication that will increase the rate of pebbles.
Composition of gallstones
The gallstones are formed by increasing the level of many chemicals in the urine, and then become crystals. Calcium is the most important of these substances. Calcium stones form 80% of the ureter stones, in addition to the stones made of steroids, uric acid and cysteine. Grits of ureter are collected from substances such as myocoprotein, xanthine, or endiferous.
Urethral stones are usually divided into species according to their constituent material. Calcium levels are increased when calcium or oxalate is high in the blood, so when eating high-calorie foods such as spinach, or taking certain types of drugs or vitamin D compounds, this increase is also genetically engineered.
Streptite stones are formed when urinary tract infection is caused by bacteria that affect women in particular, and cysteine stones suffer from some people with rare genetic diseases forcing the kidneys to put up some amino acids, and uric acid stones consist of the high amount of this acid, Metabolism of proteins in the blood.
Symptoms of gallstones
Small ureter stones may not cause any symptoms, but if they become too large to cause urethral obstruction, the onset of pain may suddenly cause sudden pain. The patient may feel this pain in the back, pelvis or pelvis, and this pain may spread to the genitals .
The patient may also feel pain or pain when urinating, urine may become pink as a result of the blood coming out with him, or the patient may feel frequent urination or may have trouble getting urine out.
The patient with the ureteral bone may have other signs. It may appear disturbed and move frequently in an attempt to relieve the severe pain that may be suffered, as well as excessive sweating, as well as vomiting, and if the urinary system fails to get rid of the gallstone, the pain may become more severe. , And the patient may suffer continuously. If the patient gets urinary tract infection at the same time, he may complain of other symptoms, such as bed and fever, and the feeling of fatigue and fatigue, and the smell of urine may be foul.
Treatment of gallstones
In many cases, the fate of the ureteral stone is to go out with the urine alone without resorting to any medical procedures. This depends mainly on the size and location of the stone. Small stones of less than 4 mm are easier to pass than the larger ones. Were greater than 10 mm.
The ability to cross the ureteral stone varies depending on the location of the kidney. The stones near the kidney pelvis are difficult to cross compared to those near the bladder, and the treatment is followed by a few steps. If the patient suffers from the ureter block only once and its size is less than 10 mm, The pain is then used by doctors to preventive treatment, by monitoring the patient for a period of time until the exit of the stone, during this period patients are advised to drink plenty of fluids to help remove the stone, and doctors resort to the use of painkillers.
There are some types of drugs that may facilitate the release of gallstones, such as alpha-inhibitors such as Tamsulosin or calcium channel blockers such as Nifedipine. In the event that the presence of the stone remains, or if it poses a danger to the health of the patient, it may resort to other medical procedures, most notably the operation of the fragmentation of gravel through the presentation of sound waves on the presence of extra-body in the Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) It is possible to remove the ureteral block by performing a catheterization process by inserting a tube with tools through the bladder to the ureter and removing the stones in different ways. A catheter network may be installed to improve urinary flow, and in some cases an operation is performed to remove the ureter.
