Hello. Where is the specific location of the stone? If the stone is larger than 1 cm, it is recommended to undergo lithotripsy. Conservative treatment is advised first. In addition to medication for treating urinary tract stones, patients need to consult experts frequently and maintain communication with their doctors. Patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as eating light and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
