Patient's question:
Ureteral calculus! 0.2 cm. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) was performed twice, but it did not break. Should I continue with ESWL or undergo surgery?Doctor's answer:
After examination, it was found to be a ureteral calculus, and even after a second lithotripsy, the stone could not be crushed. Suggestions: If the ureteral calculus can be located and is about 2 cm in size, consider another lithotripsy. If it is truly impossible to treat conservatively, then surgical treatment should be considered.
