ISNA / Central A surgeon and specialist in kidney and urinary tract diseases in Saveh said that about 50% of people drink less water than normal. “Reducing daily water consumption endangers kidney health and leads to kidney stones and eventually kidney failure,” he said. .
In an interview with ISNA reporter, Dr. Mehdi Kashefi stated that the most common reason for Saoji citizens to refer to surgeons and specialists in kidney and urinary tract diseases is to create urinary stones, kidneys, ureters, etc. and added: In fact, about 30% of Saveh people refer to The doctor specializes in kidney and urinary tract diseases caused by kidney stones.
He said that people are not familiar with the causes of stones in the body, the cause of this disease and the high number of clients, and added: “Consider that we have a glass of water and add a teaspoon of sugar to it.” If the water in this glass evaporates and reaches half of the glass, the sugar in it will start to settle. When a person does not drink water from morning to evening and sweating occurs during daily work, the amount of water that enters the kidneys is reduced to a minimum and the urine flow, which is the most important factor in preventing stone production, decreases with decreasing water concentration. After settling, it finds sediment and eventually leads to rock production.
He added: “Yellow and thick urine indicates that the amount of water consumed by humans per day is less than standard and increasing the concentration of sediment, increasing and continuing this process leads to kidney stones.”
Dr. Kashefi added: “If enough water is consumed per day and the color of urine is thin and light, it can be said that stones or deposits will never form in the kidney. It is important to drink enough water and the hardness of the water does not play a role in causing kidney stones. Increasing the concentration of urine is the most important factor in causing urinary stones, which is directly related to reducing the amount of water consumption.
He considered infections and urinary disorders as the second reason for patients to refer to a doctor who specializes in kidney and urinary tract diseases and said: “Frequent urination and incomplete urination in people over 50 years and frequent waking up at night to urinate are among the urinary disorders.” Which forms part of the references.
He described patients with hernias and varicocele as the next most likely to see a doctor for kidney and urinary tract disease, adding: “Prolonged standing causes varicose veins in the testicles, just as it causes dilated and visible varicose veins on the skin of the legs.” It is more common in the left testicle, and many men have some degree of varicocele in the left testicle, but if these dilated veins (varicocele) are seen in the right testicle, they should be checked by a urologist.
Dr. Kashefi continued: The testicle is located in a separate space from the body and inside the sac, because the work of sperm production must take place at a temperature of 35 degrees and two degrees below body temperature, and that is why it is recommended that men do not wear tight clothes because By attaching the testicles to the body and increasing the temperature of the testicles, sperm production is disrupted and eventually causes infertility.
He further referred to patients with urinary bleeding and cancer, as well as infertility as another category of referrals and said: “About 2% of patients complain of urinary bleeding, which can be microscopic and reported in the urine test sheet or It is macroscopic and visible to the naked eye. In women, the main cause of this problem is those infections, and in people over 2 years old, and especially those who have a history of smoking or drugs, malignancy and cancers should be considered and the necessary examination should be done.
