Patient's question:
I have kidney stones, and I am taking Jing Shi Ling capsules. How many days does it take to recover?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Nephrolithiasis - Diagnosis Confirmed; Generally, small to medium-sized stones in patients often show no symptoms, while larger stones can cause discomfort and pain in the waist. It is recommended to use the extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) machine as the first choice for stone removal treatment. Early treatment is also advised for better stone removal results.First, let me explain that the extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) machine is a non-invasive, innovative stone removal treatment device and technology. Its principle is entirely different from that of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). The advantage of the ESWL machine lies in its lack of organ damage, thorough stone removal, and minimal pain for patients, making it more acceptable. In contrast, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) can cause organ damage and is more painful.
The ESWL technology employs high-frequency superconducting fluid dynamic shock wave dynamics in a three-dimensional integrated stone removal system, assisted by large digital ultrasound for positioning. It features accurate positioning, rapid stone removal, and is effective for bile duct stones, ureteral stones, allowing stones to be removed as they are passed. It is particularly effective for resolving (sand-like calculi) in intrahepatic bile ducts. The most prominent feature of this equipment is its user-friendly operability, thorough stone removal for various types of stones, wide applicability, minimal side effects on the human body, painless stone removal 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 ESWL machine is the most suitable for renal and ureteral stones under 10mm. For larger stones, the principle of first crushing and then removing the stones can be adopted to achieve complementary advantages. Whether it is small stones or multiple larger stones, due to the widespread use of ultrasound, early diagnosis of renal stones is relatively timely. Newly formed small stones are generally detected early, providing the best conditions for ESWL treatment. At the same time, it offers the latest measures for early stone removal, avoiding excessive treatment methods that cause significant organ damage, poor efficacy, pain, and high costs. It is recommended to use the ESWL machine for stone removal treatment and to seek early treatment for better results.

The indications and treatment scope of the ESWL machine are as follows:
(1) For renal and ureteral stones less than 1.2 cm, the ESWL machine should be the first choice for stone removal treatment. It causes no kidney damage, ensures thorough stone removal, is safe and painless, and avoids the side effects of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. If the stone diameter exceeds 1.2 cm, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy should be used first to crush the stone, followed by ESWL 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. It is the preferred treatment for ureteral stones.
(3) For patients with multiple renal stones and concurrent ipsilateral ureteral stones, the ureteral stones should be removed first, followed by the removal of multiple renal stones, to prevent the formation of a "stone street" in the ureter.
(4) For large renal stones that remain in the lower pole of the kidney or renal pelvis after ESWL fragmentation, small residual stones are the best indication for ESWL for thorough stone removal. This is because the handheld high-frequency superconducting shock wave can directly touch the stones in the lower pole of the kidney, allowing them to move into the renal pelvis and ureter for removal.
(5) For the above types of stone diseases, if complicated by urinary tract infections leading to pyelonephritis, ureteritis, cystitis, prostatitis, or urethritis, due to inflammatory congestion and swelling of the mucosa affecting stone removal, antibiotics must be administered first to treat inflammation before ESWL treatment.
(6) ESWL stone removal treatment generally requires 1-3 sessions, with a duration of 5-7 days. Patients in good physical condition can undergo continuous treatment, while those with poorer health may need to be treated once every other day. For patients with poor urinary function or infections, hospitalization may be prolonged. According to clinical observations, Professor Chen Bangjing believes that ESWL is the leading new technology for treating stones both domestically and internationally. It is the preferred method for treating renal, ureteral (usually in 2 hours), gallbladder, and extrahepatic bile duct stones, as well as intrahepatic bile duct stones. Its completely thorough stone removal effect, lack of organ side effects, and low cost have benefited a vast number of patients. For stones beyond the scope of ESWL, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy should be used first to crush the stones, followed by removal. For large renal cast stones and gallstones, surgical removal is recommended upon discovery.
