Patient's question:
Urinary tract stones, stone size 1.2cm0.6cm, perhaps need a few vibrations. The doctor said at least 3 times, and I paid 1800. They also said I need to do several ultrasounds, maybe multiple vibrations for better value. They prescribed a bunch of medicine, nearly 3000 yuan gone in 3 days. Am I being scammed?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, you have urinary system stones, and the stones are larger than 0.6 cm. In this case, treatment such as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is required. The specific number of times you need to be treated depends on the nature of the stones and the effectiveness of the lithotripsy. If the stone is relatively loose in texture, it may only require one session.Recommendation:
Hello, it is recommended that you follow your doctor's advice for treatment. After lithotripsy, actively use medications to promote stone excretion. Drink plenty of water and exercise regularly. Generally, it is not necessary to undergo three sessions initially. The need for further lithotripsy will be determined based on the results after treatment. It is advised that you visit the urology department of a regular hospital. I hope my answer helps you.
