In life, our poor eating habits can easily lead to kidney stones, such as not drinking water after meals or drinking water with high crystal content. Traditional Chinese medicine has the longest history in treating kidney stones. Can the Chinese herbal medicine Jin Shan Niu really treat kidney stones? Let's introduce the efficacy and functions of Jin Shan Niu.
【Can Chinese herbal medicine Jin Shan Niu really treat kidney stones?】
The most common disease of the kidneys is kidney stones, which are formed when the concentration of crystal substances in the urine in the renal pelvis and calyx is too high, making it easier for the crystal substances to precipitate and form stones. Common types of kidney stones include ureteral stones, renal pelvis stones, and calyx stones.
Currently, there are many methods for treating kidney stones, including traditional Chinese medicine, surgery, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, and shock wave fragmentation therapy.
The treatment plan for kidney stones depends on the size and location of the stones. Stones smaller than 5mm may pass naturally and can be treated with medications such as tamsulosin hydrochloride and Heliangqing. For larger stones, extracorporeal lithotripsy can be attempted. Patients with poor results from extracorporeal lithotripsy or larger stones may need to undergo ureteroscopy or percutaneous nephroscopy minimally invasive surgery.
If the stone is relatively small, traditional Chinese medicine treatment has the longest history and is generally effective. Taking traditional Chinese medicine formulas can dissolve the stones and pass them out of the body. Combined with appropriate exercise and increased water intake, the effect is quite good.
