Can ureteral extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy be performed during menstruation?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Can I have ureteral lithotripsy () during my period?

Doctor's answer:

Kidney stones can first be treated with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy or with Chinese herbal medicine to expel stones. In most cases, they can be cured. However, for stubborn or encapsulated stones, the medication is often not very effective. In such cases, surgical treatment should be considered. Hello, this condition is often caused by indigestion.
Pay attention to a light diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of water, avoid spicy foods, and temporarily reduce the intake of eggs, meat, and soy products. You can do some abdominal massage.
