“Torment me, Pechenegs.” Vladimir Putin spoke about the “coronavirus infection”, and people are already making memes

You can often hear the expression “sand in the kidneys, kidney stones.” Are these concepts different? Let’s look further?

So, by and large - no, the only difference is in size. Concentrated mineral salts with proteins in the form of grains no more than 0.9 mm are sand; anything larger is kidney stones. By the way, grains of sand and small pebbles are united by a common name - microlite. Also, the presence of sand and kidney stones has a general definition - urolithiasis, which differs only in stages (the appearance of sand refers to the initial phase of the disease).

How does the disease manifest itself?

Symptoms do not appear in women and men at the early stage of microlith formation. Although at the very beginning of formation they get rid of pathology only by following a diet without drug treatment.

Primary manifestations

Microliths are diagnosed when sand comes out of the kidneys and the symptoms are as follows:

• aching pain in the area of ​​the urinary tract;
• frequent bowel movements;
• pain in the abdomen when urinating.

When sand comes out, urine can change color to pink. This occurs due to damage to the mucous membrane by acute microlites. Painful sensations are localized depending on which organ the sand came from. If microliths begin to flow from both kidneys at once, the pain spreads to both sides.

When microliths accumulate and become larger, this causes painful discomfort in the lower back or renal colic. Patients who have experienced such sensations remember the nature of the manifestations for a long time. Signs of sand release are cloudy urine. If you leave the liquid to sit for a day, the patient will see sand in the urine in the form of flakes at the bottom of the container.

Sand comes out of the kidneys forum

Girls, I've read a lot of options. But I would like to read those who have had experience. You need to drive the sand into your kidneys)) Get it out + there is a small pebble.

I've been on a salt-free diet for almost a month now. From what I read, I singled out for myself (what I can drink/eat) - consumption of cranberries (they’ve just gone) + I’ll brew rose hips.

Maybe someone knows a good mixture of herbs (I’m lazy, I wish it were an all-in-one tea), which you throw in a bag and drink.

ICD – urolithiasis. Almost everyone has sand in their kidneys and bladder from a certain age. My husband was diagnosed with it at 30. In 7 years, he had renal colic twice. My mom has sand. At my father's. But they don't know what renal colic is... I'm 34. A year ago I had colic. With loss of consciousness, vomiting, wild pain, I was taken to the hospital. We learned how to cope with primary symptoms. The diet is all bad carbohydrates that make you fat. Limit most vegetables and meat. I'm trying. But after that colic there were 6 more in a year. With pain, vomiting, rolling on the floor and crying. And about a dozen were like “I was going to and changed my mind.” I went to the urologist several times. . How many ultrasounds have I redone? The verdict is this: new sand forms very quickly and comes out quickly, so the metabolism is disrupted... Follow a diet, drink a kidney mixture. All. A year ago I didn’t know what it was. And it manifests itself like crazy. My nerves went away. I'm desperate. Help. . Urologist *****, or is medicine really powerless?

Go to a homeopath, because you need to treat the cause, not the effect. I wish you health.

Thank you. Somehow I don’t believe in homeopathy, it looks more like an endless scam for money. In addition, my voluntary health insurance does not pay for this. ICD is a chronic disease, it needs to be treated and prevented for the rest of your life.

Well, good luck. It’s not clear why you came here?

change the water, this may be the reason. Drink store-bought water and cook everything with it. My friends had this happen, the whole family suffered from stones, they have been preparing and drinking water from bottles for more than 5 years, all the stones have dissolved. True, they also went to a sanatorium for kidney patients several times. And you are wrong about homeopathy. The main thing is to find a good doctor.

Author, you were correctly told that your water-salt metabolism is impaired. There must be treatment, a diet is mandatory, and a water regime is not the least important thing. This is where you need to strongly limit yourself from products that produce exactly the salts that you have. Do you have stones or sand? There are many urologists, go to another one. Contact the paid services of the Institute of Urology - they will give you a consultation. Not everything is so bad. If the question is that you have a different opinion, and it does not coincide with the doctor’s, then you should not see a urologist, but another specialist.

How long does the process take?

How does sand come out of the kidneys and how many days does it take? In most cases, microliths begin to move after an active physical load. The exact amount of time is unknown. Genetics, gender, age of the patient, and grain size play a role here.

An active lifestyle is an excellent prevention of microlithiasis

To speed up the discharge, the drinking regime is increased to 2.5 liters of liquid. Beans, salted and fried fish are excluded from the menu. Peas, pumpkin, cranberries will be useful. You should lead an active lifestyle. When sand is diagnosed in the urine and that it comes from the kidneys, it is forbidden to eat greens, spices, milk, raw vegetables, and soups made from them.

Causes of sand and kidney stones

The formation of sediment or already calculi in the body of a man and a woman is possible at different ages, since this process is influenced not by years, but by lifestyle and standard of living.

Different types of salts and stones can form in the human body, respectively:

• urate, formed from salts of uric acid;
• oxalate appear due to deposits of oxalic acid salts;
• There may also be: phosphate, carbonate, cystine.

The main causes of salt deposits include:

• drinking water of poor quality - hard;
• predominance of protein foods in the diet;
• abuse of legumes;
• the presence of congenital defects of the urinary system, which provoke disturbances in the process of urine outflow and salt deposition;
• heredity;
• kidney infection;
• poor metabolism;
• sedentary lifestyle - sedentary work;
• taking sulfonamides, aspirin and other antibiotics for a long time; bone fractures, which result in increased calcium levels in the blood.

First aid for an attack

What to do when symptoms of sand leaving the kidneys appear in the form of an acute painful syndrome? Call an ambulance immediately. Self-medication is contraindicated here. The symptom can signal another disease. Blockage of the ureter will provoke the development of a serious complication and death of the patient.

When the sand coming out brings unbearable pain, you can take a warm bath with juniper and cypress essential oils, and put a heating pad on the lumbar area. Antispasmodics and analgesics (No-spa, Atropine, Baralgin) will ease the condition. They go to the hospital on the day of the attack. Experienced doctors will conduct an examination to identify stones in men and women and prescribe individual treatment.

If sand is found in the urine or stones in the kidneys, drugs that dissolve the stones are prescribed. Afterwards, therapy is recommended so that the release of sand from the kidneys occurs without complications.

Passed kidney stone

Primary symptoms of the disease

Signs of urolithiasis are also indications for kidney cleansing:

1. Painful sensations in the lumbar region.
2. Swelling of the limbs.
3. Watery bags under the eyes.
4. Unpleasant sensations in the groin area, pain in the lower abdomen.
5. Joint mobility is significantly reduced.
6. Urination is painful and in small doses.
7. Increased sweating.
8. The urine becomes cloudy and contains blood.
9. The eyeball is constantly “under pressure”.
10. Cold sweat appears for no reason.

Preventive measures for the formation of microliths

What rules must be followed to avoid relapse? Normalize metabolic processes by eliminating the cause of the disorder. The patient needs to follow a diet: proper balanced nutrition including plant foods. Limit salt.

The drinking diet should include filtered water, compotes, fruit drinks, and juices. Alcoholic drinks are prohibited. Vitamins help keep your metabolism in shape. Take the course once a year for three months. Be examined annually by a urologist and have your urine analyzed for salt content.

When diagnosing a pathology, the attending doctor will help the sediment to come out without developing complications or a threat to life.

Factors contributing to the formation of sand or stones

If the kidneys do not work properly, the functioning of the entire body is disrupted. Not only does swelling form under the eyes, but also puffiness of the limbs. The legs become “heavy” and constantly hurt.

Also, impaired renal function negatively affects the functioning of the heart and vascular patency. Sand causes pressure surges, the pulse quickens and eye pressure increases, as a result of which vision deteriorates.

The main factors that cause sand formation are:

1. The diet consists of fried or flour foods. There is no clear schedule for eating food.
2. Kidney disease is genetic, so it is possible to inherit the disease.
3. Sedentary and minimal activity.
4. Metabolism is slow, metabolism is weak.
5. The viral diseases passed without proper medical support.

Description of sand in the kidneys in men

There is a misconception that sand and kidney stones are essentially the same thing. In practice, urologists note that stones (calculi) should be understood as visually visible structures consisting of various types of salts and having a diameter of more than 1 mm. Sand is a suspension of salts, mainly urates, oxalates and phosphates, which cannot be visualized using instrumental diagnostic methods due to their small size. The diameter of one “grain of sand” can be tenths and hundredths of a millimeter.

In this regard, it may seem that the presence of such impurities in the urine does not adversely affect the functioning of the kidneys, but this is not entirely true. The total amount of sand can be quite significant and sufficient to disrupt the proper functioning of the urinary system. In addition, in the absence of proper treatment, sand will eventually form into denser structures - stones, therefore the presence of such impurities in the urine is considered to be an early stage in the development of urolithiasis.

The precursors of kidney stones are suspensions of salts with small element sizes (less than 1 mm)

Reviews about the townhouse village Peski

Kravchenko Artem Alexandrovich

Advantages: 1. Deal We took 160 m2 in mortgage in 2020, without financial capital, but for a young family. At first we tried it ourselves, but we didn’t pass the screening in Sberbank because the manager chose the wrong mortgage program - he needed “Country real estate”, but he selected “Ready housing”. As a result, the developer himself helped with the mortgage - he organized everything and explained everything. The transaction itself went well, even taking into account the fact that on our part there was a problem with some kind of power of attorney. 2. House and decoration The house was taken with a view of the park, we’ll come back to this later. We took it with turnkey finishing - the price was included in the mortgage, it was easier for us at that time. The finishing is ok, not great not terrible. The materials are adequate for the price, enough for 10 years, and then we’ll redo them point by point, fortunately there’s plenty of room to move from room to room. The developer was reluctant to take on additional work - and that’s understandable, all efforts were devoted to completing the second and third stages. But nevertheless, they did the planning and electrical work according to our project. I know that now they are already doing one project for everyone - I saw this project, it would suit us too. I think minimal changes can be made to it. The deadlines have shifted, but this is precisely because of 1) an individual project and 2) because any team must be monitored. This was our first experience in renovation, and of such a scale, and it’s even good that it was not 100% positive. And let's be honest - at the developer's price it is difficult to make a perfect renovation of 160 sq.m. We ourselves completed the construction of a covered terrace on the 3rd floor instead of the open one according to the project - the plumbers, without any questions, made connections there for a warm floor and the electricians also installed light. In terms of location relative to other houses in the village, we are happy with everything, just 10 views of the park out of 10. We don’t regret that we overpaid for the location. But here - to each his own. Some people are fine with a neighbor across the street, but we got very good privacy. A similar level now, as far as I know, remains only near the forest, but in 2020 there were no finished houses near the forest. They would have taken it there. 3. Location On this topic, everything is very subjective. I go to the office a couple of times a month, my wife and her mother do household chores, so the location doesn’t bother us at all. It’s 5 minutes to the concrete road (if you drive and don’t slow down). On the concrete road it’s another 10 minutes to M11. On M11 to the center it’s about 40 minutes. Or to Petrovsko-Ramovskaya or Khovrino about 30 minutes, and then you can take the metro. It’s a 30-minute drive to Dmitrovka, which rarely stops and will soon stop altogether. But the exit to Leningradskaya in the Radumli area is terrible. Once I saw a traffic jam right up to the M11 exit. It’s better to at least go around this place via Zelenograd on M11. I don’t recommend traveling through Lobnya either to the MSK or back. There is a traffic jam at the crossing, you can lose a lot of time. But I usually go home from Moscow through the lake. Krugloe and Rogachevskoe - firstly, the lake looks great in any weather, and secondly, there is no particular time difference between this route and Leningradka. Plus, if something changes along the way, a traffic jam forms, you can have time to get onto the M11. Dmitrovka, unfortunately, is still very much in the region in the Lobnya area. But I think someday this will get better. I don’t travel during rush hour, so I can’t say anything about availability at this time either. I only know that on Friday evenings in the summer there is an exit onto the concrete road even from the M11 and the M11 itself can drag along, so on Friday I decided not to go to Moscow. So if you don’t need to go to the office in Moscow every day, there are no problems at all. I know that the developer launched his own minibus in test mode to Khovrino - it travels along M11, the fare is like 100 rubles per person. It’s in demand, but we haven’t tried it ourselves. It goes 4 times a day, I think it’s quite convenient. I haven’t tried a taxi, Yandex estimates some crazy 3000 to Moscow. I heard that you can call a taxi locally - it’s much more democratic. And some neighbors, no, no, yes, bomb. By the way, the road to the village is close to ideal. The first stage is completely asphalted, only the bypass road remains, and in the second stage there is already crushed stone under the asphalt, so there is no danger of damage. Another very important thing is that the village is located a kilometer from the nearest highway through Fedotovo, so you can’t hear any road noise here at all. 4. Infrastructure, recreation The nearest METRO is half an hour (Lobnya). It’s also half an hour to Leroy, Auchan and Zelenopark - along M11 for 80 rubles (with a transponder). On a small note - a magnet in Kamenka is a 3-minute drive away. It takes an hour to walk, but for those who like to walk, the walk is quite comfortable. The pharmacy is there too. There is a minimarket 10-15 minutes walk to Fedotovo, where there is a pretty good selection of products for different occasions. We also made a local tent - the prices are not particularly high, but the choice is meager. There are at least 3 farms in the district - 1 in Shikhovo, 1 in Rozhdestveno and another one right in the village of Peski. In Shikhovo they haven’t taken anything yet, but in Rozhdestveno there is bomb cottage cheese and sour cream with a fat content of 60% - it’s really almost like butter, just right for borscht. It seems that the local shopping center has been completed - I think a normal store and a pharmacy will eventually be installed there. They also said that commercial space is already occupied. By the way, if the developer reads it, it would be cool if there was a negotiation with hourly rent. It would be possible to invite particularly impatient clients to your place, but at home it’s still not so serious. The park may seem unsightly in appearance, but a project for its improvement was discussed with the residents, and in particular with those who live near the park. At first glance, it turns out very cool, although I don’t like that they decided to accumulate children’s playgrounds in one place. However, we don’t have children yet, and when we do, it will be more of a plus, because we have access to the park directly from the site. The village is surrounded by dense forest. This is cool, there are mushrooms and raspberries. My wife said there were no blueberries. A couple of times whites for three servings of soup were collected right in the park. It's half an hour's drive to the Round Lake. So far we have only been on reconnaissance, but there is an excellent, well-maintained beach there. I didn’t even know that there was something like this in the Moscow region. There is also a pond nearby in the village. It seems like the developer plans to negotiate with the locals and improve it. 5. Accommodation, management company The first and most important thanks go to Nikolai Nikolaevich personally for the fact that at the end of last year he gathered an initiative group of residents, took them to the Northern Electric Grids directorate and put everyone on their ears because of the voltage of 160. The problem was solved before cold, so they survived the winter relatively calmly. There were only 2 or three cliffs due to icing. But I installed a stabilizer anyway, because for now we are heating ourselves with an electric boiler, which is very sensitive to a loss of even 10% of voltage. In comparison with neighboring villages, the price/quality ratio is 10 points out of 10. Garbage is collected regularly and every day. Nearby, for example, is Mishkin Forest - a saleswoman from Shikhovo lives there, she said they take out garbage once a week, and they pay more. Emergency situations like “the extension cord on the faucet burst” are resolved promptly and without questions and, by the way, probably for free, because I asked the plumber on duty “how much will I charge” and he left with the words “not at all yet”))). Separate waste collection is planned. If all residents agree, it will be great. Snow is cleared regularly in winter - I got stuck only once when I sat down on a hatchback loaded to the brim with Ikea cabinets while turning around through a snowdrift in the middle of the street, which forms when residents clear snow from parking spaces. And even then, he unloaded and got out. The access regime is strict. In the sense that those whom they know are let through, and everyone else is stopped at the barrier. 6. Gas Well, this is a sore subject. Yes, the deadline for submitting it has been delayed. BUT! 1) A gas pipeline has now been built. 2) DRPs are installed in most houses. 3) all pipes are connected to the DRP. 4) The developer is building the third phase at an accelerated pace so that by the heating season all the DRPs are already in place. 5) before the start of gas, the management company subsidizes 50% of electricity costs!!! That is, he actually pays out of his own pocket. In general, for those who do not engage in bad skepticism, everything is in order and there will be gas this season.

Disadvantages: they delayed the supply of gas, but the management company subsidizes 50% of electricity costs; there are no large retail stores within walking distance, but it’s a matter of time - a commercial space for them has already been built
