Hello,
It is normal to experience pain for 1-2 days after kidney stone removal. This is because of trauma to the ureters and kidneys which occurs when the stones are removed. Ask your doctor to prescribe your husband anti inflammatory pain killer drugs like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac. If the symptoms persist then get an evaluation done from a physician as any complication of the procedure and infection has to be ruled out.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
I was admitted to the hospital the first week of October for a kidney stone which I wasn't able to pass. A stent was placed for a week to clear any possible infection and to help pass the stone, it didn't pass so earlier this week I was given the wave surgery, Lithrotripsy?, which broke up the stone and was removed with the basket.
Another stent was placed after that surgery to keep the passage open and prevent infection, it is supposed to remain 10 days until Friday of next week.
Hello,
Method of treatment of kidney stones depends on the size of stone. A 4 mm stone has an 80% chance of passage spontaneously in the urinary tract while a 5 mm stone has a 20% chance. a stone of 7.7 mm needs other methods of kidney stone treatment. I’ll suggest consulting a urologist for the same and seeking treatment depending on the size of the stone.
Based on what you have described you have hypertension, erectile dysfunction, and mild left ventricular hypertrophy on both your electrocardiogram and echocardiogram.
It is essential that you control your hypertension as best as you can to prevent further progression of LVH. LVH refers to the thickening of the heart muscle as a response to high blood pressure. It is not uncommon to have erectile dysfunction accompany hypertension.

Hi there,
Kidney stones are common these days. A stone usually stays inside one of your kidneys, it usually doesn't cause a problem unless it becomes so large it blocks the flow of urine. This can cause pressure and pain, along with the risk of kidney damage, bleeding and infection. Smaller stones may partially block the thin tubes that connect each kidney to your bladder or the outlet from the bladder itself.
I would suggest you to get an evaluation done from a urologist to determine the type of stone. Treatment modes include Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithrotripsy (ESWL), uteroscopic stone removal and percutaneoud nephrolithotomy but it depends on the size of the stone.
If the size of the stone is small, it’s usually treated with ESWL in which shock waves are given from outside and stone breaks into small pieces.
On the other hand, if the stone is quite big, then the surgical removal of the stone is a better option. Please do ask your mother to continue to drink lots of water for it does facilitate at least in preventing the formation of new stones if not the flushing out of the present stones.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
I was in hospital for 5 days after surgery and then during the first follow up appointment about 10 days after surgery they discovered that I still had a 12mm stone in the same kidney. The stone showed up on X-ray but not on Ultra-sound and then showed clearly on a CT Scan.
They are now saying that I need to have it removed by laser lithotripsy. Firstly, it seems a little soon to go through with this so soon after surgery as I'm still quite swollen (now 35 days after surgery).
