Does kidney stones require laser treatment?

Patient's question:

Over the past two days, I've been experiencing pain in my lower back and visited Shenyang 463 Hospital for treatment.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, kidney stones can be treated with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). The side effects of ESWL are relatively small, and it is generally required for treatment, with costs around 2,000-3,000 yuan. After treatment, it is important to drink plenty of water and engage in appropriate jumping exercises to help expel the stones.
As everyone knows, urinary tract stones can cause significant harm to men, so it is crucial to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary habits, focusing on a light diet and avoiding irritating foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
