Why don’t you feel any stones coming out after lithotripsy?

If you do not feel a stone being discharged after lithotripsy, it may be due to the small size of the stone, or it may be due to poor treatment. Usually, after lithotripsy treatment, if the stone is relatively small, it cannot be seen with the naked eye when it is discharged with the urine, and some patients may only have cloudy urine. For patients with large stones, if they do not feel the stones are discharged after lithotripsy, they need to be rechecked in about 1 week, and if the stones are still present, it will be considered that the treatment is not effective. Therefore, patients need to be treated with lithotripsy according to their own conditions and under the strict guidance of doctors. Generally, patients with kidney stones can choose to undergo percutaneous nephrolithotripsy, ureteroscopic lithotripsy, extracorporeal ultrasonic lithotripsy, etc., while gallstones are difficult to be crushed and discharged, and cholecystectomy is often considered as an option. After receiving lithotripsy treatment, patients are advised to pay close attention to their own situation, and if they feel that no stone is discharged, they should consult a doctor in time for review and take reasonable treatment measures as prescribed by the doctor.
