Patient's question:
There is a stone at the end of the ureter, and I actually had blood in my urine today, and it hurts a lot. Male, 24 years old. Recently, I've had a dull pain on the left side of my abdomen, and today I also had blood in my urine. After checking, it was found that there is a stone at the end of the ureter. A urine test was done, and the test results showed positive for red blood cells. What is going on? What does positive mean?Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is recommended to first choose the latest national patented invention device - extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) machine for stone removal treatment; and to start early treatment as soon as possible, as the stone removal effect is better. First, it should be explained that the principle of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) is entirely different from that of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy. The advantage of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy lies in its lack of any damage to organs, thorough stone removal, and minimal pain for patients, making it easier to accept. In contrast, extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy causes organ damage and is more painful.Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy is a national patented invention technology, employing high-frequency superconducting fluid dynamic shockwave lithotripsy technology in a three-dimensional integrated form, assisted by large digital ultrasound localization. It features accurate positioning, rapid stone removal, and complete stone removal from bile duct stones, ureteral stones, allowing stones to pass as they are removed, especially for in the intrahepatic bile ducts. The most prominent feature of this equipment is its humanized operability, thorough stone removal for various types of stones, wide range of indications, minimal side effects on the human body, painless stone removal process, generally no need for hospitalization, and low treatment costs, making it easily accepted by patients. It is a reliable, effective, simple, and practical treatment device with unique equipment and technical advantages. Therefore, it is the best choice for treating various types of stones.
The indications and scope of treatment for extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy are as follows:
(1) For various kidney stones and ureteral stones smaller than 1.2 cm, extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy should be the first choice for stone removal. This is because it causes no kidney damage, ensures thorough stone removal, is safe and painless, and avoids the side effects of shockwave lithotripsy. If the stone diameter is greater than 1.2 cm, extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy should first be used for crushing, followed by extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy for thorough stone removal, achieving complementary advantages.
(2) This equipment is particularly suitable for acute ureteral stones and the resulting hydronephrosis, renal pelvis dilation, ureteral hydronephrosis, ureteral dilation, and renal colic. It can rapidly remove ureteral stones, immediately relieve pain, and quickly alleviate the above symptoms, making it the preferred treatment for ureteral stones.
(3) For patients with multiple kidney stones on the same side combined with ureteral stones, the ureteral stones should be removed first, followed by the removal of multiple kidney stones, to prevent the formation of a "stone street" in the ureter.
(4) For larger kidney stones that remain in the lower pole of the kidney pelvis or calyces after ESWL crushing, extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy is the best indication for thorough stone removal. This is because the handheld high-frequency superconducting shockwave transducer can directly touch the lower pole kidney stones, allowing them to move into the kidney pelvis and ureter for removal.
(5) Suitable for the stone removal of mud-like gallbladder stones smaller than 4 mm. The stone removal is thorough and painless, making it the best choice for treating gallstones. It is also the only stone removal device in the world capable of removing stones from the liver and bile system.
(6) Particularly suitable for the stone removal of mud-like intrahepatic bile duct stones and mud-like common bile duct stones. The stone removal is thorough, symptoms are rapidly relieved, and there is no pain or side effects. It solves the global medical of poor treatment effectiveness in traditional medicine, the difficulty and incompleteness of surgical stone removal in modern medicine, and the occurrence of severe complications and postoperative recurrence.
(7) For the stone removal treatment of the above types of stones complicated by urinary tract infections leading to pyelonephritis, ureteritis, cystitis, prostatitis, urethritis, as well as infections of the liver and bile system leading to cholecystitis and intrahepatic or extrahepatic cholangitis, the inflammatory congestion and swelling of the mucosa must first be treated with antibiotics. Stone removal with extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy can only be performed after the inflammation subsides.
According to clinical observations, Professor Chen Bangjing believes that extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy is the leading new technology for treating stones both domestically and internationally, having obtained national patent approval. It is currently the preferred method for treating kidney stones, ureteral stones (ureteral stones can generally be removed within two hours), gallstones, and extrahepatic bile duct stones, as well as intrahepatic bile duct stones. Its completely thorough stone removal effect, lack of any organ damage, and low cost have benefited a vast number of patients. For stones beyond the scope of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy, shockwave lithotripsy should first be performed, followed by stone removal. For larger kidney cast stones and gallstones, surgical stone removal is recommended as soon as they are detected.
