The Urologist Spoke About The Deadly Consequences Of Urolithiasis

Nikolai Morozov, a surgeon-urologist of the highest category, spoke about this on the air of the radio station "Moscow speaking". He compared the process to the blooming of water in a pond. “Painful sensations arise when the outflow of urine is disturbed, that is, the pressure in the urinary tract rises. Then the notorious renal colic occurs. Often even a very large stone, if it does not interfere with the outflow of urine, a person with it can be practically asymptomatic, and there is no pain. The main problem that stones cause is pain. Due to the fact that in the kidney, when the calculus [stone - approx. GM] interferes with the flow of urine, [this causes - approx. GM] high blood pressure, its function is lost over time. It loses its function and renal failure develops. Plus, often, when the outflow of urine is even partially blocked, there is a "pond" in the kidney or in the ureter or in the urinary tract. Accordingly, where there is no water flow, as in a pond, it begins to bloom, favorable conditions are created for the development of infection, pyelonephritis develops (one of the most formidable complications of urolithiasis, because it rather quickly leads to organ loss and more serious surgical interventions). In principle, it can lead to sepsis, and as an outcome of sepsis - the death of the patient. " Earlier, the specialist warned about the risk of cancer due to taking Viagra. Sergei Ilyin in an interview with the radio station "Moscow speaking" said that this drug has many contraindications. He stressed that the thoughtless use of such drugs can cause serious illness.
