Patient's question:
I don't know what's wrong recently. Every time I urinate, it hurts a bit. I'm a little worried, so I came to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said I have urinary tract stones. But after taking the stone-removing medication, it hasn't had any effect at all. I'd like to consult here about how to promote blood circulation for urinary tract stone pain.Doctor's answer:
Urinary system stones are generally treated conservatively. It is recommended to go to the hospital and consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to prescribe several herbal decoctions for oral administration. If the stones are large, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) can be considered. If the pain is frequent, surgical treatment may be an option.Based on what you mentioned, it is likely that you have ureteral stones. The back pain is caused by a stone in the ureter leading to intestinal obstruction, which in turn results in kidney hydronephrosis. Early and thorough examination is necessary to identify the location, and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy should be performed. ESWL is a safe and painless treatment. After the procedure, intravenous fluids and herbal stone-expelling decoctions should be administered to aid in stone removal.
