After lithotripsy, you should rest for at least three days, and the rest time should be judged according to the patient’s lithotripsy condition. Extracorporeal lithotripsy can cause slight damage to the ureter or kidney, because the frequency of lithotripsy can cause slight edema of the kidney or ureter, and in severe cases, it can cause partial damage, so there will be slight abdominal pain and discomfort after lithotripsy, which is normal. If the patient can tolerate it, it is not a big problem. After lithotripsy, it is necessary to drink more water and exercise properly to promote the discharge of stones. However, strenuous exercise is not allowed because if the patient has edema in the kidney and ureter, the pain will be aggravated by strenuous exercise, so proper rest is also needed, at least for three days. After three days, if there is no abdominal pain or hematuria, the patient should go to the hospital for a review and if there are no residual stones, he can resume normal work and life. If there are still residual stones, a second lithotripsy will be required and the rest period will be extended accordingly. In addition, after lithotripsy, patients should be relaxed and avoid spicy and stimulating foods.
