Patient's question:
The "Civil Servant Physical Examination Standards (General)" specify: Obstructive gallstones or urinary system stones disqualify a candidate. I experienced a sudden attack of stone pain in October 2009 and underwent lithotripsy. Since then, I have had no symptoms. I am now preparing for a pre-employment physical examination as a civil servant. My CT scan shows no stones, and my abdominal ultrasound of the liver, gallbladder, spleen, and kidneys shows normal results, with no obvious stones. Can I pass the examination in this condition? Additionally, how is obstructive gallstones or urinary system stones defined?Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is recommended to use an extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) machine for stone removal treatment; and to start early treatment as soon as possible, as the effect is better. First, it should be explained that the principle of an extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy machine is entirely different from that of an extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy machine. The advantage of the extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy machine lies in its lack of any damage to the organs, thorough stone removal, and minimal pain for the patient, making it easier to accept. In contrast, the extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy machine causes organ damage and is more painful.The extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy machine technology is a national latest patented technology, employing a three-dimensional combination of high-frequency superconductivity, fluid dynamics, and shock dynamics, assisted by large digital ultrasound for positioning. It features accurate positioning, rapid stone removal, and effective treatment of bile duct stones, ureteral stones, allowing stones to be removed as they are passed. It is particularly effective in completely removing stones from intrahepatic bile ducts.
The most prominent feature of this equipment is its user-friendly operability, thorough stone removal for various types of stones, wide range of indications, minimal side effects on the human body, painless treatment process, no need for hospitalization, and low treatment costs, making it easily accepted by patients. It is a reliable, effective, simple, and practical treatment device with unique equipment and technical advantages. Therefore, it is the best choice for treating various types of stones.
The indications and scope of treatment for the extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy machine are as follows:
(1) For various kidney stones and ureteral stones smaller than 1.2 cm, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy should be the preferred treatment. It causes no kidney damage, ensures thorough stone removal, and is safe and painless, without the side effects of shock wave lithotripsy. If the stone diameter exceeds 1.2 cm, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy should first be used for crushing, followed by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for thorough stone removal, achieving complementary advantages.
(2) This equipment is particularly suitable for acute ureteral stones and the resulting hydronephrosis, renal pelvis dilation, ureteral hydronephrosis, ureteral dilation, and renal colic. It can quickly remove ureteral stones, relieve pain immediately, and rapidly alleviate symptoms, making it the preferred treatment for ureteral stones.
(3) For patients with multiple kidney stones on the same side combined with ureteral stones, the ureteral stones should first be removed, followed by the removal of multiple kidney stones, to prevent the formation of a "stone street" in the ureter.
(4) For large kidney stones treated with ESWL, the small residual stones in the lower pole of the kidney, renal pelvis, and calyces are the best indication for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. This is because the handheld high-frequency superconducting shock wave probe can directly touch the stones in the lower pole of the kidney, move them into the renal pelvis and ureter, and remove them from the body.
(5) Suitable for treating mud-like gallstones smaller than 4 mm. It ensures thorough stone removal without pain and is the best choice for treating gallstones. It is also the only equipment in the world capable of removing stones from the liver and bile system.
(6) Particularly suitable for treating mud-like stones in intrahepatic bile ducts and common bile ducts. It ensures thorough stone removal, rapid symptom relief, and no pain or side effects. It solves the global medical of poor treatment outcomes in traditional medicine, the difficulty and incompleteness of stone removal surgery in modern medicine, and the occurrence of severe complications and postoperative recurrence.
(7) For the treatment of various types of stones due to concurrent urinary tract infections leading to pyelonephritis, ureteritis, cystitis, prostatitis, urethritis, as well as infections of the liver and bile system leading to cholecystitis and intrahepatic or extrahepatic cholangitis, the inflammatory congestion and swelling of the mucosa must first be treated with antibiotics. ESWL treatment can only be performed after the inflammation subsides.
According to clinical observations, Professor Chen Bangjing believes that extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is a leading new technology for treating stones both domestically and internationally, having obtained national patent protection. It is currently the preferred method for treating kidney stones, ureteral stones (ureteral stones can generally be removed within two hours), gallstones, and extrahepatic bile duct stones, as well as intrahepatic bile duct stones. Its completely thorough stone removal effect, lack of any organ damage, and low cost have brought benefits to a vast number of patients. For stones beyond the scope of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, shock wave lithotripsy should first be performed, followed by stone removal. For large kidney cast stones and gallstones, surgical stone removal is recommended as soon as they are detected.
