Urinary distension after lithotripsy but not urinating may be due to deformities such as ureteral stenosis, stone blockage of the urethra and other reasons.
1. When ureteral stenosis occurs due to hereditary reasons, the stone may not be able to pass through the ureter into the bladder and out of the body, which may lead to swelling of the urine after lithotripsy and inability to urinate.
2. The size of the stone may be too large, resulting in complete obstruction of the urethra in the process of discharge, resulting in the stone not being discharged from the body and blocking the urethra, resulting in urinary distension after lithotripsy but not urinating.
If you have urinary distension after lithotripsy but cannot urinate, you should go to the hospital in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment.
