What to do after ultrasound lithotripsy

After ultrasound extracorporeal lithotripsy, self-care should be enhanced. Extracorporeal ultrasonic lithotripsy has effects on both the stone and the body. After ultrasonic lithotripsy, it is recommended to take bed rest and do not do strenuous activities for the time being, because ultrasonic lithotripsy not only has a good lithotripsy effect on stones, but also may have certain adverse effects on the tissues around the stones, such as edema of the tissues around the stones. After the end of extracorporeal lithotripsy, you can drink more water as appropriate, and after resting for a day, you can strengthen the activities to promote the discharge of stones. Anti-inflammatory drugs can be given orally or intravenously after extracorporeal lithotripsy, which can improve the patient’s inflammatory symptoms and prevent the clinical symptoms of fever. In addition, pay attention to a light diet. Do not drink alcohol or eat spicy and cold foods, such as hot pot and ice cola. Patients are advised to pay attention to protection, rest, drink more water, eat a light diet, and take oral anti-inflammatory drugs in severe cases.
