Patient's question:
Kidney stones have been detected for 10 years, and the stones have reached the lower calyx. What should I do? Kidney stones have been detected for 10 years. Several years ago, I underwent laser lithotripsy. The stones have now reached the lower calyx. Medical condition: Multiple kidney stones in the left kidney. Description of the condition (onset time, main symptoms, changes in symptoms, etc.): In 2001, I experienced symptoms of hematuria and dysuria. I went to the hospital for an examination and had an X-ray taken, which revealed kidney stones. The stones were multiple, with the largest measuring 2.7 cm. Five years ago, I underwent multiple laser lithotripsy sessions. Some stones were removed at the time, but due to my frail health and the consumption of a lot of Chinese herbal medicine for stone dissolution, the stones did not come out. Now, they have moved to the lower calyx, and there has been chronic mild hydronephrosis.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, you have had kidney stones for many years, and it seems your stones are quite large. When conservative treatment is not effective, it is also recommended that you consider surgical treatment, which would be better.
