Does extracorporeal lithotripsy hurt?

Patient's question:

Does lithotripsy hurt? Inserting a catheter? How is non-bacterial prostatitis treated? Can medication help?

Doctor's answer:

Lithotripsy for kidney stones is generally not very painful, unless there is a medical accident again. In severe cases, it can even be life-threatening, and it's not just about pain! If you choose to undergo lithotripsy, it's best to go to a large hospital. This way, you are fully responsible for your personal safety. In addition, the process is often not as thorough or clean as expected. It is recommended to take some stone-expelling medication and prepare accordingly. Otherwise, if the stones cannot be passed, they may cause blockages, leading to hydronephrosis, which can be serious. It is best to take some traditional Chinese medicine that is good at expelling stones, such as Chen Tianlun's , etc!
