Patient's question:
I found out today that I have kidney stones and also have hydronephrosis. What should I do? Three days ago, my left kidney hurt, and I discovered that my urine was cloudy. I was treated at Liyang People's Hospital.Doctor's answer:
Generally, stones smaller than 0.4 cm can be passed out of the body by drinking more water and exercising. If the stones are larger than 0.4 cm, it is usually recommended to undergo extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). Stones larger than 20 mm, accompanied by severe hydronephrosis and affecting kidney function, require surgical treatment. The specific treatment plan should be determined based on the size and condition of your stones.
