Which department is good to see for kidney stones?

Patient's question:

During the day, urination is generally normal, but at night, there is frequent urination, and even after going to the toilet, it's hard to urinate, with only a few drops coming out, which I can't control. Which department should I go to for kidney stones?

Doctor's answer:

If you have kidney stones, it is best to go to the urology department of the hospital for a thorough examination and treatment. It is necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to identify the cause before symptomatic treatment can be effective. If the diameter of the kidney stone is less than 0.6 centimeters, you can take stone-expelling granules or stone-passing granules for treatment. If the diameter of the kidney stone is greater than 0.6 centimeters, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy can be performed. Drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, and stay active.
