Kidney stones are a common disease, and for ordinary people, as long as they go to the hospital for timely treatment, they can generally be cured. But for the special group of pregnant women, they need to pay more attention to all aspects than ordinary people. So now let's take a look at what to do if you find kidney stones during pregnancy?
Pregnant women who are found to have kidney stones do not need treatment temporarily if there are no clinical manifestations. If there are obvious clinical symptoms, medical attention should be sought immediately. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is not recommended for stones, let alone surgical treatment. It is best to wait until after the baby is born for corresponding treatment and treatment.
In fact, in daily life, many people with kidney stones generally have no symptoms and usually present as static kidney stones. But there are also some people with kidney stones who may have some obvious symptoms, such as lower back pain and radiating pain in the abdomen during urination.
If pregnant women suffer from kidney stones, they must drink plenty of water regularly to prevent further enlargement of the stones. If the stones are relatively small, they can be expelled from the body by drinking plenty of water in the early stages of the disease. If there is pain during pregnancy, it must be treated with caution. If the pain is severe, it is usually relieved by intramuscular injection of progesterone, which has no effect on the fetus.
