Patient's question:
Pain when urinating just after starting to urinate, pain below the lower abdomen.Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is recommended to use the latest national patented invention device - Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) for stone removal treatment; and to start early treatment as soon as possible, as the stone removal effect is better. First, it should be explained that the principle of ESWL is completely different from that of Extracorporeal Shock Wave. The advantage of ESWL lies in its lack of any damage to organs, thorough stone removal, and no pain for patients. It is more easily accepted by the elderly, young, women, and children. In contrast, Extracorporeal Shock Wave causes irreversible damage to organs and is more painful. ESWL technology is a national patented invention, employing high-frequency superconducting fluid dynamic shock wave three-dimensional integrated stone removal technology, assisted by large digital B-ultrasound for positioning. It features accurate positioning, fast stone removal, and complete removal of bile duct stones, ureteral stones, allowing stones to pass as they are removed, especially for thorough removal of stones in intrahepatic bile ducts. The most prominent feature of this device is its humanized operability, thorough stone removal for various types of stones, wide range of indications, almost no side effects on the human body, no pain during the stone removal process, generally 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 ESWL are as follows:(1) For various renal and ureteral stones smaller than 1.2 cm, ESWL should be the preferred method for stone removal. This is because it causes no kidney damage, ensures thorough stone removal, is safe and painless, and avoids the side effects of shock wave lithotripsy. If the stone diameter is greater than 1.2 cm, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy should first be used for crushing, followed by ESWL for thorough stone removal, achieving complementary advantages.
(2) This device is particularly suitable for acute ureteral stones and the resulting hydronephrosis, renal hydroureter, ureteral hydroureter, renal colic, etc. It can quickly remove ureteral stones, relieve pain immediately, and rapidly alleviate the above symptoms, making it the preferred treatment for ureteral stones.
(3) For patients with multiple renal stones complicated by ipsilateral ureteral stones, the ureteral stones should first be removed, 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 renal pelvis or calyces after ESWL, the small residual stones are the best indication for ESWL for thorough stone removal. This is because the handheld high-frequency superconducting shock wave transducer can directly touch the stones in the lower pole of the kidney, moving them into the renal pelvis and ureter for removal.
(5) Suitable for the stone removal of sandy gallstones smaller than 4 mm. It ensures thorough removal without pain and is the best choice for treating gallstones. It is also the only device worldwide capable of removing stones from the hepatobiliary system.
(6) Particularly suitable for the stone removal of sandy intrahepatic bile duct stones and sandy common bile duct stones. It ensures thorough removal, rapid symptom relief, no pain, and no side effects. It solves the global medical of poor treatment outcomes in traditional medicine, the difficulty and incompleteness of surgical stone removal in modern medicine, and the high incidence of severe complications and postoperative recurrence.
(7) For the stone removal treatment of the above types of stones complicated by urinary tract infections leading to pyelonephritis, ureteritis, cystitis, prostatitis, urethritis, as well as biliary infections leading to cholecystitis and intrahepatic or extrahepatic cholangitis, the inflammatory congestion and swelling of the mucosa must first be treated with antibiotics. ESWL stone removal can only be performed after the inflammation subsides.
According to clinical observations, Professor Chen Bangjing believes that ESWL is the leading new technology for treating stones worldwide, having obtained national patent approval. It is currently the preferred method for treating renal stones, ureteral stones (ureteral stones can generally be removed within two hours), gallstones, and extrahepatic bile duct stones. Its completely thorough stone removal effect, lack of any organ damage, and low cost have benefited a vast number of patients. For stones beyond the scope of ESWL, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy should first be used for crushing, followed by stone removal. For large renal cast stones and gallstones, surgical stone removal is recommended as soon as they are detected. If you need treatment, please communicate online. Thank you for your cooperation.
