Sir , my 85 year old father has multiple stones in his kidneys diagnosed since 2008 which the doctor said need not be operated due to his poor health. His diabetic condition which is not severe but definitely existent( he is not under any treatment for diabetes )and he takes ayurvedic treatment as allopatic medication brings his sugar level very low.He does have a condition of enlarged prostrate and is being treated with Urimax D tablets after dinner- one tab a day. He has been treated for Urine infection twice in the past and he seems to be having this constant problem with his bladder infection. He even till yesterday passed around 1500ml urine per day. Kindly advice me what kind of diet should I keep him on. |

Dear Mr Shirley Godinho You did not tell the size of your fathers kidney stone. Every time a stone causes no symptoms, watchful waiting can be a valid option. For symptomatic stones, pain control is generally the first measure, using medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or opioids. Worse cases may necessitate surgical intervention. As an example, some stones may be shattered into smaller fragments using extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. Some cases require more invasive types of surgery. Samples of these are generally cystoscopic procedures including laser lithotripsy or percutaneous techniques for example percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Sometimes, a tube (ureteral stent) might be put into the ureter to bypass the obstruction and alleviate the signs and symptoms, as well as to prevent ureteral stricture after ureteroscopic stone removal. For diabetes and Prostate you can continue the medical treatment which you are giving but he should be in constant contact of a physician. With regard J S Chowhan |
