Patient's question:
I've been feeling unwell recently. The cause or diagnosis was said to be a kidney stone.Doctor's answer:
Kidney stones are a type of urinary system stone disease. As the saying goes, "treat the root to cure the disease," so understanding why kidney stones develop is also very crucial. Experts point out that only by knowing some of its causes can we effectively prevent it. Kidney stones are more common in summer, but they show obvious symptoms in winter, hence the saying "kidney stones form in summer but manifest in winter." The formation of kidney stones is a lengthy process. At the onset of the disease, there are no symptoms, and some patients may experience mild or temporary symptoms that don't cause significant trouble, leading them to ignore the presence of kidney stones, thinking it's no big deal and can be solved with medication. They believe it's not too late to seek treatment later. However, this view is incorrect. Delaying treatment for kidney stones can cause great harm to the body and even be life-threatening.Multi-dimensional extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for stone treatment is safe, efficient, and non-invasive, with rapid postoperative recovery. It leaves no and prevents recurrence. Multi-dimensional extracorporeal shock wave treatment does not require surgery, is highly efficient and safe, non-invasive, and can significantly shorten treatment time. Patients can also clearly see how the stones are shattered into powder under the shock wave.
