Patient's question:
Kidney stones for many years, this time the stone fell into the bladder and urethral opening, often blocking the ureter and unable to urinate. We had surgery in our county's hospital, which involved inserting a tube into the urethra and using laser to break the stone. However, the postoperative cost is indeed for two surgeries. The doctor said that since the bladder and urethra were both affected by stones, it's equivalent to two surgeries, so the cost is for two surgeries. But the doctor did not inform us in advance about this beforehand. Is what the doctor said correct?Doctor's answer:
Hello! There are many causes of kidney stones, such as genetic factors, metabolic factors, infectious factors, environmental factors, dietary factors, anatomical factors, drug factors, and so on! Kidney stones are the accumulation of large molecular metabolites in the human body that cannot be promptly excreted through urine.Suggestions: Since symptoms have already appeared, it is recommended to seek timely and active treatment! I understand your concern about future recurrences, so I suggest having the stone composition checked at the hospital to actively identify the cause. Prevention is very important! Wishing you good health!
