Patient's question:
Hello, one of my friends is 46 years old this year. A few weeks ago, he told me that he always felt uncomfortable and painful when urinating. Later, he went for a check-up and the result was kidney stones. It was recommended that he undergo laser lithotripsy. He wants to know the symptoms after the kidney stones are shattered.Doctor's answer:
Within one week after the surgery, there may be pain at the original stone site, which is caused by the mucosal damage to the ureter caused by the laser. There may also be pain in the waist during urination, which is caused by the mild urine reflux due to the indwelling double-J tube in the body.Within one month after the surgery, there may be a urinary tract infection, and mild hematuria may occur after prolonged sitting or intense exercise. These are all normal phenomena. Urinary tract infections can be treated with conventional anti-inflammatory medications.
