Patient's question:
I recently don't know what's wrong with me, I have discomfort in my lower body, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. How should I treat kidney stones? How long does it take?Doctor's answer:
The condition you described may be caused by urinary tract stones. For kidney stones less than 5mm, conservative treatment or observation is primarily recommended. For kidney stones between 5mm and 2cm, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is the first choice. For kidney stones larger than 2cm, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the preferred treatment.As everyone knows, urinary tract stones can cause significant harm to men, so it's important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues—avoiding irritating foods and maintaining a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up appointments may be necessary when needed.
