There is no such thing as not recommending extracorporeal lithotripsy for patients with kidney stones. Currently, extracorporeal lithotripsy has gradually become the standard treatment for kidney stones and other urologic stone diseases, so patients with kidney stones can undergo extracorporeal lithotripsy when they meet the indications. Kidney stones are abnormal stone lesions in the renal tubules or renal collecting system. Generally, patients with large diameter kidney stones are unable to expel the stones within a short period of time, and therefore need to take measures as soon as possible when the symptoms of pain cannot be controlled by medication at the same time. The extracorporeal lithotripsy means extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, which itself is a common means to cope with kidney stones. In some cases, extracorporeal lithotripsy may not be recommended for patients with kidney stones, for example, if the stones in the body belong to cystine stones, the stones will be too hard, so extracorporeal lithotripsy is not recommended. In addition, combined pregnancy, renal insufficiency, obesity and other people also need to choose extracorporeal lithotripsy carefully. Individuals should be evaluated by a medical professional to determine whether or not they can undergo extracorporeal lithotripsy.
