I once met a patient with ureteral stones of about 0.70×0.8 cm, who had undergone 26 extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy treatments in two years, except for a few episodes of hematuria, without any change in stone size, but with progressively worsening hydronephrosis. The number of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy treatments generally does not exceed 3 to 5 times, and if the treatment is not effective, other methods of treatment are chosen. There is no definite standard for the interval of lithotripsy treatment, but most scholars, by studying the time of repair after kidney injury, believe that an interval of 10 to 14 days is appropriate. Overtreatment is harmful to the body. Shock wave lithotripsy as the preferred means of treating urinary stones, shock wave lithotripsy equipment and technology has become popular, if there is no strict control over the use of the method, ultrasonic waves can harm the kidney while breaking up stones. Stones larger than a peanut meter are usually treated in separate sessions. If the aim of crude lithotripsy alone is to break stones, it may lead to kidney function damage in light cases, or kidney atrophy due to vascular contracture in heavy cases. Chinese medicine for urinary tract stone treatment is to clear heat, dampness and laxative, the medicine is mostly cold, and should not be taken for a long time. Some patients think that Chinese medicine has no side effects, so they go to the hospital and buy Chinese medicine for stone removal for a long time after the prescription, some patients even continue to take the medicine for up to a year, and do not review, not knowing the changes in stones and hydronephrosis, and not knowing whether the kidney function is good or bad.
