Patient's question:
I felt unwell a few days ago. The people around me noticed that I wasn't doing well and tried to find the reason. A colleague said she had had something similar before, possibly a urinary system stone. Hearing this result shocked me. How could I have a stone? What are the symptoms of urinary system stones in women?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of urinary tract stones are not gender-specific and can easily cause difficulties in urination, bleeding, frequent urination, abdominal pain, and other conditions. They are also prone to lead to urinary tract infections, which are often related to insufficient water intake and digestive issues. Treatment can include oral antibiotics for anti-inflammation and stone removal. Additionally, it is recommended to visit the urology department for a thorough examination, including color Doppler ultrasound and urinalysis. If the urinary tract stones are large, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) can be performed. Drinking plenty of warm water and increasing urine output through exercise can also help in the removal of stones.
