Causes of left hypochondrium pain

If you experience pain in the left hypochondrium, which is the area of ​​the left kidney, you should be alert to the cause of kidney disease. The most common ones are kidney stones or hydronephrosis. You should go to the urology department for an ultrasound examination in time. In order to prevent pain in the left hypochondrium, you should exercise more, drink more water, pay attention to diet and health, etc. If the pain worsens, you must seek timely treatment.

How to prevent left hypochondrium pain

1. Increase exercise appropriately

Improve body functions and control weight. It is a misconception that exercise is not meant to "jump off" the stones. The main purpose of exercise is to adjust the body's metabolism, reduce the soluble substances produced by metabolism that enter the urine, and reduce the acidic substances in the body. In addition, exercise can consume excess energy and control body weight, which are all beneficial for preventing stones.

Second, develop the habit of drinking more water

The average person should drink more than 2.5-3 liters of water and ensure that the urine output is more than 2.0-2.5 liters. You can drink normal water/light green tea/appropriate amounts of soda water/lemonade, etc. It is not advisable to replace water with dairy products and beverages. People who develop stones should drink less black tea/cola/apple juice/grape juice and other beverages.

3. Balanced diet

First of all, you should know that there is nothing you cannot eat. The most important thing is to have a balanced diet, emphasizing avoiding excessive intake of any one nutrient. On this basis, please note: 1. For normal calcium intake from food, it is recommended to eat more dairy products, tofu, small fish and other foods rich in calcium; do not take too much calcium supplements outside the diet, and do not restrict calcium intake too much (except for patients with clearly diagnosed absorptive hypercalciuria). 2. Limit the intake of oxalic acid and eat less (note that this does not mean not eating) foods rich in oxalic acid such as cabbage, almonds, peanuts, celery, spinach, black tea, and chocolate. 3? Limit the intake of high-protein/high-salt/high-purine foods. 4. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. 5. Increase dietary fiber and whole grains.

After reading my introduction, do you think that you will not get sick as long as you take such prevention measures? In fact, we cannot have such a mentality, because prevention does not mean that you will not get sick. So I still hope that everyone can pay attention to changes in their bodies. If your body really has any bad symptoms, you must go to the hospital in time for treatment. After getting sick, you must follow the doctor's instructions under the guidance of the doctor to cure the disease. For the sake of your own health, you must not ignore your illness. Finally, I wish you all good health.
