1. Is it unnecessary to treat small urinary tract stones because they have no symptoms? Urinary tract stones have a process of development from crystals to stones, from small stones to large stones. In the early stage, the effect of stone removal and stone dissolution can be achieved by diuretic and laxative methods in Chinese medicine and changing dietary habits. It also facilitates the reoccurrence of stones. On the other hand, small stones crystallized without treatment will often become the core of large stones in the future, and medical treatment is often not effective and must be done through surgical treatment. 2.What are the common urological treatments for urinary tract stones? Common methods of treating urinary tract stones include extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), holmium laser lithotripsy, and ultrasound-ballistic lithotripsy. For smaller stones, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy can be used to achieve less damage and higher lithotripsy rate. For larger stones, ultrasound-ballistic lithotripsy or holmium laser lithotripsy can be used. The former can be used to extract the broken stones out of the body at the same time, while the latter has a higher lithotripsy rate than the first two methods, making it easier to eliminate stones from the body. 3.What are the post-treatment after surgical treatment? Stones that are still in the body after lithotripsy need to be removed with medication. Depending on the patient’s body type and the location of the stone, alpha-blockers, Chinese herbal medicines and traditional Chinese medicines can be used. Only when the crushed stones are completely eliminated from the body can small stones be prevented from becoming the core of recurrent stones again.
