What department to see for renal colic

Patients with renal colic need to go to the emergency department or urology department. Doctors provide patients with rapid pain relief according to their symptoms, examination and signs, and the main methods include pharmacological pain relief and manual pain relief. The main methods of pain relief include medication and manipulation, including subcutaneous injection of 0.5mg atropine, intramuscular injection of 10mg scopolamine and intramuscular injection of 50mg dulcolax. Manual pain relief generally refers to the treatment by Chinese medicine acupuncture points, using the elbow joint to press the patient’s kidney point area for more than 10s. The specific medication should be combined with clinical practice and guided by the doctor’s face-to-face consultation.
