After lithotripsy, it is usually necessary to rest for about 3~7 days, and the exact number of days of rest is uncertain, depending on the method of lithotripsy used and the recovery ability of the individual. The most common methods of lithotripsy include extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ECT) and holmium laser, and the amount of time needed to rest varies depending on the type of lithotripsy used. In the case of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, the rest period is usually only about 3 days. If holmium laser lithotripsy is used, the rest period will be longer, because after lithotripsy, it is necessary to keep a stent tube in the ureter, and it is necessary to avoid strong exercise for 7 days, and rest is the main thing. The rest time will be different for each person because the recovery ability of each person is different. For people with good recovery ability, the recovery speed will be very fast, so the rest time will be relatively shorter. During the recovery period after lithotripsy, you must rest more, not to be tired, and also pay attention to replenish the nutrition needed by the body, and the diet is mainly light. If there is any abnormality during the recovery period, go to the regular hospital in time.
