Medical Video: Can Roller Coasters Help You Pass Kidney Stones?
Kidney stones are small and hard minerals and acids formed in the kidneys. Kidney stones can cause many disorders of the urinary tract — from the kidneys to the bladder. This can cause intense pain and result in a urinary tract infection if it continues for a long period of time.
Depending on the size of kidney stones, this disease can be treated under a doctor's advice and instructions. Together with trusted treatments, researchers are still analyzing and studying other ways to treat kidney stones. Recently, they mentioned riding a roller coaster as a potential new method. How can?
Experiment with a roller coaster to treat kidney stones
In Journal of the American Osteopathic Assiciation, a study of the treatment of kidney stones addresses the issue of whether a roller coaster ride can effectively treat kidney stones. This study was inspired by several anecdotal reports. A man claims that he got rid of kidney stones after enjoying a roller coaster ride. This story caught the attention of many professionals, so they conducted experiments to find out the truth.
A research team began by creating a 3D mold model to simulate the kidneys of certain patients. They fill this "fake" kidney with urine before placing the original kidney stone in each lane (top, middle and bottom). This experiment was carried out on a named roller coasterBig Thunder Mountain where the researchers boarded the roller coaster 20 times in a row.
Is it really effective?
After riding a roller coaster, they analyzed the movements of these kidney stones. Surprisingly, kidney stones placed in the upper lane did experience a shift every 20 times riding the vehicle. In fact, the stones in the middle and lower lanes all remain in their original location.
In addition, the researchers also found one more interesting fact. If a kidney stone patient sits on the back of a roller coaster chair, the level of kidney stone cleansing reaches 2 out of 3, while sitting on the front can produce a cleansing rate of 1 in 6 kidney stones.
But the results of this study may not necessarily be applicable to humans. First, this study used a 3D model from one patient. So it is not necessarily able to be effective in the real kidney and not necessarily effective for the kidneys of various other patients. Second, this study is used in one typeroller coaster. Not necessarily the results can be felt when you go uproller coasterin Indonesia, for example.
Further research is still needed to ensure the effectiveness of therapy is sufficient ecstatic this. If it is proven effective, in the future, a roller coaster ride will be one of the strangest treatments for kidney stones. The doctor may immediately prescribe a trip to Dufanto treat you from this disease.
