Patient's question:
Pain for half a day, pain when having a bowel movement. Several of my doctor friends unanimously believed it was chronic appendicitis, so they didn't take it seriously. Two years ago, during a physical examination, it was found that there were two kidney stones in the right kidney, both with a diameter of about 1 centimeter, and there was also hydronephrosis.Doctor's answer:
Hello, small stones can be expelled through the urethra on their own, while larger stones that cannot be expelledly may undergo intravesical lithotripsy. Methods of stone fragmentation include extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), electrohydraulic shock wave lithotripsy, ultrasonic lithotripsy, and stone crushing forceps. For larger stones without lithotripsy equipment, suprapubic cystostomy for stone removal can be performed. In cases where bladder infection is present, active treatment of inflammation should be initiated simultaneously.
