Patient's question:
Grandma is 46 years old this year. When she was 42, she was diagnosed with kidney stones and had them shattered. This year, they have recurred and she is in pain. She had an ultrasound, and the doctor said there are more stones in Grandma's kidney and also some accumulation of fluid. What are some good treatment methods? Can it be treated with traditional Chinese medicine?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the treatment for kidney stones needs to be selected based on factors such as the size, location, and nature of the stones. If your stones are relatively large, it is recommended to undergo extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) followed by the combination of traditional Chinese medicine treatments such as dissolving, breaking down, and expelling the stones. This approach aims to holistically regulate the body's immune system, improve the internal environment of the kidneys, and promote the excretion of stones.As everyone knows, urinary tract stones can cause significant harm to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary habits, with a focus on a light diet and avoiding irritating foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
