Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've been experiencing some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. I'm wondering what to do about ureteral stones with kidney hydronephrosis?Doctor's answer:
Middle-aged male, experiencing recurrent urinary pain, underwent a thorough examination at the hospital and was diagnosed with ureteral stones accompanied by kidney hydronephrosis. Treatment requires the implementation of ureteral stone treatment. It is recommended that you increase fluid intake to promote stone excretion, engage in regular exercise such as running and jumping rope. If the stone is larger than 0.6 cm, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy can be performed. If the stone is larger than 2 cm, percutaneous nephrolithotomy can be considered.
