Could I possibly have UTI or urinary calculi?


I feel like I must use the bathroom too frequently. Nothing burns when I must go, but I feel like my bladder fills up pretty quickly and I must use the bathroom? It is probably the cold weather? I also feel some sort of minor discomfort in my bladder area. Am I just thinking about it too much?
----------

just drink a lot of coconut juice its very effective so that you can prevent UTI.... you have no UTI yet and if you feel you should go to the bathroom then go..!!!  (+ info)

I'm having calculi (8.43mm in diameter) in my right renal, Is SW therapy fine?


I'm having calculi (8.43mm in diameter) in my right renal, Is SW therapy fine to prevent it? Does shock wave therapy has any side effect for my kidney function?
----------

SW will break down your stone so that smaller pieces will pass out of the urinary system without or minimal pain/discomfort. Sometimes your Dr may put a stent in the ureter to let the fragments pass more easily, but unlikely in your case since your stone is relatively small. SW rarely cause kidney damage/bleeding/infection. Discuss with your Dr about the risk  (+ info)

How can kidney stones or renal calculi cause death?


Mainly " renal failure" and " 2ry hypertension" with its cardiac, and else, complications. ( of course, if nothing to deal with them was done). the usual line of management is surgery OR now can be broken using "sound/ vibration" from outside the body, into small pieces and pass out with urine, )  (+ info)

How does one treat Multiple Mobile Calculi in the liver ?


depends on the size or shape of them. they may pass on their own, or the dr may have to go in and take them out. there is also a procedure called lipotripsy, this is done in a hospital . they put you in a tub of water and aim a untrasound type device at the stones and use sonic waves to break them into smaller pieces that would then be eliminated when voiding  (+ info)

I was having bilateral renal calculi,uterus fibriods.i took medicines. Now everthing is normal but i am?


suffering from splenomegamy. Is this because of d side effects of homeopathic medicines that i took 4 renal calculi and uterus fibriods?
----------

Never. Homeopathic medicine can only heal a diseased condition. It cannot produce any side effects because it does not contain any chemical compound. I have to congratulate you for opting homeopathy to treat your diseased condition. Just have faith in it and once again consult the same homeo physician and get treated for your splenomegaly. Wonderful results could be expected within few days. Best of luck.  (+ info)

Can rice causes renal calculi?


My question about rice's chemical properties, some of my friends says that rice contains only sugar while other says that it contains sugar and some salts as well.
My uncle has renal calculi, He usually takes rice in his food, so my question is about rice whether its harmful for my uncle or not.

Thanks In Advance
----------

Not at all. A third of world's population predominantly eats rice with no ill effects. Rice is essentially carbohydrates. There is very little of minerals in rice.

The calculi must be from some other cause.  (+ info)

Calculi of the tonsils?


I know that this is a somewhat common problem... but I get calculi of the tonsils, which is when little food particles get trapped in the back of my mouth in the deep crevices of my tonsils. It causes bad breath and it is very uncomfortable.

Anyone else suffer from this have any tips on how to deal with the problem or remove the debris?

So far for me it's been a small flashlight and a Q-tip.
----------

I get this, it is horrible and uncomfortable. I found the best thing to do is to gargle soluble aspirin repeatedly until it gets dislodged. (Aspirin also has anti-inflammatory properties so this may help too), failing that I would try gargling with mouthwash (at least it'll help the breath!!)

Another thing that has helped is eating coarse food like crisps. I can't tolerate the Q tip down the throat method - makes me gag!!  (+ info)

I have renal calculi is this a reason. please give me suggestions and details about the same?


Smaller ones usually tend to pass randomly, but larger ones will need help.

Drinking cranberry juice and eating starfruit can help ease the passing and breakage.

I would go to the doc for pain meds, so to not sugar coat things, you WILL BE NEEDING PAIN KILLERS.

To avoid future stones you will need to change your diet and drink a lot more water for hydration.

Restrict your oxalate intake.

Good luck i commend you on going through this as this is a very painful dilemma.  (+ info)

How does tartar/calculus form on teeth? What causes tartar and can tartar cause a cavity?


I just get confused about it with cavities and sometimes it's hard to tell whether you got a cavity or whether you got tartar/calculus which is brown.
----------

tartar or calculus is a form of harden dental plaque. dental plaque is soft and easily removed from tooth surface via brushing and flossing, but if it not removed for a some time like a week, it will become a calculus which caused by the continual accumulation of minerals from saliva on the plaque. dental plaque and calculus contain bacteria which can cause gum disease like gingivitis and periodontitis, and also dental cavities.  (+ info)

Why is calculus preferred to be a dentist?


I'm only in 10th grade, but I was looking at required courses because I've wanted to be a dentist. I was fine with the chemistry and biology and english and all the other courses but I was wondering, why is calculus wanted for dental school? Does it actually apply to anything in the job?
----------

Not directly - you do need good math skills, but nothing like calculus. However, most dental schools require college calculus and physics (which often uses calculus) as an admission requirement, and most science degrees require them as well. Honestly, math that relates to running a business, such as accounting, would probably be more helpful to dentistry, but they are unlikely to change the requirement.   (+ info)
