How should kidney stones be treated, and how much does it cost to cure them?

Patient's question:

Urgency of urination, hematuria with `no obvious blood clots`, hematuria only occurs when urinating while seated, not when standing.

Doctor's answer:

Suggest intramuscular injection of progesterone. Progesterone can not only relieve the spasm of renal pelvis and ureter smooth muscle, but also recommend extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for stones larger than 1 cm. For stones less than 0.5 cm, medication can be used to promote excretion. In addition, very severe cases may require surgical treatment.
