Patient's question:
Patient is male, 42 years old, and previously in good health. In the past three years, he has experienced renal colic once a year.Doctor's answer:
Its clinical manifestations include sudden onset, severe lower back pain, which is often persistent or intermittent and radiates along the ureter to the iliac fossa, perineum, scrotum, and other areas; hematuria or pyuria, difficulty urinating or interruption of the urinary stream, etc. Currently, clinical treatment for urinary system stone diseases primarily involves symptomatic treatment, which focuses on relieving spasms and pain, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial measures, as well as etiological treatment (such as taking medication to pass stones or extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy). Additionally, in daily life, it is important to drink an appropriate amount of water, consume fewer spicy and irritating foods, ensure adequate rest, and avoid overexertion.
