Patient's question:
Previous check revealed kidney stones. Started taking stone dissolving granules and now kidney colic has recurred 5-6 times. Recently noticed some pain during urination. Not sure if the condition is improving or worsening. What treatment is needed?Doctor's answer:
Possible ureteral stone impaction. It is recommended to receive progesterone injections under the guidance of a local doctor. Progesterone can not only relieve the spasm of the smooth muscles of the renal pelvis and ureter, treating renal colic, but also dilate the ureter and promote diuresis, facilitating stone expulsion. Take stone-expelling granules for treatment. Appropriately use spasmolytic drugs to relax the ureter and use anti-inflammatory drugs appropriately. However, it is essential to drink plenty of water. Stones larger than 1 cm suggest extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, while those smaller than 0.5 cm can be treated solely with medication to promote expulsion. In very severe cases, surgical treatment is required.
