How Safe Is The Lithotripsy Or Lipsotripsy Procedure For Removing Kidney Stones?

Hi. I have kidney stones and have already passed at least one. The doctor recommends lithotripsy. How safe is the lithotripsy or lipsotripsy procedure for removing kidney stones and what are the after effects on my other organs? Is this the best remedy to get rid of them or keep them from re-occurring?

Hi Sir,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
I understand your query and concern.
Your symptoms is suggestive of a renal stone located somewhere in the Right lower ureter.For this you need to get him Intravenous pyelography for accurate assessment.I advise you to have Tab Tramadol and Tab.Pantop 40 mg,a course of antibiotic taken under medical prescription to control this pain.Further expert management depends on the outcome of the IVP result.If the size of stone is more than 5 cm then depending on the location of stone Extra corporeal lithotropsy can be done.Meanwhile you need to take soft and less spicy foods.Drink 3-4 litres of water everyday.Fruits,fruit juices,vegetable salads,soups should be taken.
Consult your urologist for expert management.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
