Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to ask something. Renal calculus; renal cyst, what treatment should I follow in this case? A while ago, I had severe lower back pain and lower abdominal pain, and I couldn't urinate. I quickly went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said I had renal calculus and renal cyst and advised me to seek treatment as soon as possible, otherwise it would be more harmful to my health.Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, the diagnosis of kidney cysts and kidney stones is currently quite significant. If the cyst is larger than 5 centimeters and it controls the kidney, leading to damage to kidney function, immediate surgical treatment is required. For kidney stones smaller than 0.5 centimeters, you can consume some Dendrobium candidum (Jin Qian Cao) and drink plenty of water, urinate frequently. For stones between 0.5 to 0.8 centimeters, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is needed. For stones larger than 0.8 centimeters, minimally invasive surgical treatment is required.
