Had a lithotripsy on 05AUG24... 6 mm stone in lower left pole. Had anesthesia... I actually felt fine afterwards with no pain PTL! Subsequent KUB X-ray showed NO signs of a stone. Good luck everyone!!!
I have a 10 cm stone, had 4 lithotripsy sessions so far and they put a stent before the first session. 6 weeks now with the stent, haven't golfed or done much physical work in all that time. Pain in the kidney every single time that I have to go pee!
Some studies support performing ureteroscopy in some patients with just local anesthesia... that is, lidocaine jelly injected into urethra. Granted, lidocaine gel is a lousy numbing agent -- yet despite that, the studies reported that patients did well without more intrusive anesthetics. Just wondering what you think about having a ureteroscopy done sans GA or SA?
It's a shame we can put land people on the moon. Yet, the procedures to remove kidney stones is so painful with no new procedures are being introduced. This leads to patients not trusting the medical profession
My 8mm stone moved from the Kidneys to the Ueter today, and it hurts. Suppose it gets to the bladder, can it be removed without surgery, with shock wave?
Hi doctor, I have a question How about the kidney stone not been break yet but the stent still keep inside for a month and then after 2 weeks already but still pain and bleeding it is normal or having problems?
I'd like to know this too, mine becomes inflamed bad when i eat a decent meal. I have a 7-8mm stone in ureter. I DO NOT want that camera up my pee hole...
I did the Uerteroscopy ...., It was very good..did not have stone problems...but i lost my sperm flow...and was told over time it will come back...but did not...can shed some information...about that
I had Lithotripsy ~2 weeks ago for a 13mm stone. I also had a 3mm stone as well in same kidney. Did not pass anything for 2 weeks until 2 days ago. I guess the 3mm stone decided to exit before the fragments of the 13mm. I had some pretty uncomfortable days as the 3mm worked its way down causing some pain, but once that passed I pretty much have fragments coming out with every pee. No pain, just small pebbles. I have had a ureteroscopy as well on my other kidney and I can tell you, if I ever get the opportunity to choose Lithotripsy vs ureteroscopy...I will choose Lithotripsy. That stent is no joke and very uncomfortable and the pain after ureteroscopy is intense for a couple of days. All that being said, the paid for these procedures is nothing compared to a stone blocking your Ureter so keep everything in context.
I have bilateral kidney stones Right kidney one stone 12 mm Left kidney two.. 7 mm and 5 mm My doctor suggest RIRS Is that surgery will be successfull, Infuture any chances of return the stones What about the kidney functions after the surgery And what about penis fuction after surgery Dear doctor kindly shed light on my doubts 🙏🏻🙏🏻

You are nuts if you think someone will accept this without Anasthesia, being put to sleep.

Hi doctor, I have a question How about the kidney stone not been break yet but the stent still keep inside for a month and then after 2 weeks already but still pain and bleeding it is normal or having problems?
It's a problem. You need to go urology doctor
Was wondering. Is the pain from urine backing up or the stone scratching its way down.
