Kidney stone risk in summer: Kidney Stone is a common problem, from which a large number of people are struggling. When minerals accumulate inside the kidney, then they become stones. People have to face severe pain due to kidney stone. Many times kidney stone gets stuck in the way of urination and surgery comes. Stone causes kidney damage and sometimes kidney functioning decreases. Cases of kidney stone increase in summer. Now the question is whether the risk of kidney stone is high in the summer season? Know the doctor about this.
Dr. Amarendra Pathak, Vice Chairman of Urology Department of Sir Gangaram Hospital in New Delhi told News18 That the temperature rises in summer and due to this people start sweating more. Due to excessive sweating, there is a lack of water in the body and this reduces the fluid present in the kidney. This causes crystals to form in urine, which become kidney stones over time. This is the reason that drinking less water increases the risk of kidney stone in summer. In summer, the risk of deteriorating fluid balance of the body increases, which increases the risk of stone.
The Urologist said that when there is a lack of water in the body, the urine becomes thick, and the waste products present in it collect and make kidney stones. Kidney stones are usually formed from elements such as calcium, oxalate, uric acid. Consuming more caffeine and sugar things in summer can also increase the problem of kidney stone. These substances dehydrate the body. If you feel symptoms like pain in urine, bleeding or back pain, then you should contact a doctor immediately.
According to health experts, to avoid kidney stone, at least 3-4 liters of water should be drunk daily in summer. Include such things in food, which improves the hydration of the body. Regular physical activity also helps to keep the kidney healthy. If you already have a kidney stone, do not let yourself be dehydrated in summer. Eat things like cucumber, cucumber, watermelon fiercely. If you see symptoms of kidney stone, consult a doctor. Treatment of kidney stone at the right time not only prevents pain, but also the kidney functioning is fine.
