What are the symptoms of ureteral stones after lithotripsy?



Symptoms of ureteral stones after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy include low back pain, hematuria, fever, frequent urination, urinary urgency, etc., or there may be no symptoms at all.

Ureteral stones are a common condition in urology. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy is used to achieve a cure by breaking the stones into smaller particles through shock waves and allowing them to be expelled from the body in the urine. After extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, if the stone is broken and excreted with urine, it may cause back pain with nausea and vomiting. At the same time, the symptoms of frequent and urgent urination and hematuria in the naked eye may also occur.

Some patients successfully expel small stone particles and can observe cloudy urine or sediment after standing. When the stones are completely discharged, the original stone-induced symptoms, such as colic in the lower back, gradually decrease or disappear.

Of course, it is also possible that through extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, the stone is not broken and the stone is not discharged, and the patient may not have any abnormal feeling after the extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.

If there are ureteral stones, you should consult the doctor in time, improve the examination and standardize the treatment.
