Patient's question:
Previous check revealed kidney stones. Started taking stone-expelling granules and since then, kidney colic has recurred 5-6 times. Recently, some pain has been noticed during urination. It is unclear whether the condition is improving or worsening. What treatment is needed?Doctor's answer:
Possible ureteral stone impaction. It is recommended to receive progesterone injections under the guidance of a local doctor. Progesterone can not only relieve the spasm of the renal pelvis and ureter smooth muscle but also treat renal colic. At the same time, it can dilate the ureter and promote diuresis, helping to expel the stone. Take stone-expelling granules for treatment. Appropriately use spasmolytic drugs to relax the ureter and use anti-inflammatory drugs appropriately. However, it is essential to drink plenty of water. Stones larger than 1 cm suggest extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, while those smaller than 0.5 cm can be treated solely with medication to promote expulsion. In very severe cases, surgical treatment is necessary.
