I had lithotripsy approximately one month ago. A ct scan a couple of weeks ago showed I have two new stones one in each kidney that my doctor was hoping I d pass on my own. I am now experiencing pain similar yet not as excruciating that led me to the ER a month ago. Will I need lithotripsy again or another type of procedure to eliminate the pain?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. A stone more than 8 mm in size either in the kidney or in the ureter requires treatment. Whether lithoitripsy or operative procedure depends on the level of the stone. Kindly followup with your doc and get well soon. Regards
