Patient's question:
Taking the civil service exam, the physical examination standards include a criterion that disqualifies candidates with obstructive gallstones or urinary system stones. I have ureteral stones, and I experienced pain once. After receiving injections and medication at the hospital, the pain subsided, and it hasn't recurred for two or three years. I would like to ask what obstructive gallstones or urinary system stones are, and what are the connections and differences between them and general stones? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello,1. What are obstructive stones: Whether it's urinary stones or bile duct stones, as long as the location of the stone can cause urine or bile to flow improperly or not at all, it constitutes obstruction, and this stone is an obstructive stone. Otherwise, it is a general stone. Obstructive stones can cause sudden onset, and the incidence rate is still very high.
