Patient's question:

Renal colic, flexion of the trunk, abdominal muscle tension, possible tenderness and local muscle tension in the costovertebral angle, complicated with hydronephrosis, the enlarged and tender kidney can be palpated when the abdominal muscles are relaxed.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Based on your description of symptoms, the occurrence of hydronephrosis may be caused by a stone blocking the ureter. Since the 0.8 cm stone has not responded to medication treatment, it is necessary to undergo extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy as soon as possible. Go to the hospital for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy to quickly control the symptoms of hydronephrosis and prevent further decline in kidney function. After lithotripsy, drink more water, urinate more frequently, and exercise more to promote the of the stone.
