What are the dangers of kidney stone shattering

Kidney stones are a common clinical disease. Many reasons may cause kidney stones. The condition of kidney stones in each person is different, so the size of the stones is also different. Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job of lithotripsy for kidney stones. There are many ways to break up kidney stones, and extracorporeal lithotripsy is one of them. However, repeated lithotripsy operations have a great impact on the patient's body. What are the dangers of breaking up kidney stones?

1. Slow recovery from pain

The pain that repeated lithotripsy surgery brings to patients can be imagined. At the same time, the surgical incision is large and the recovery speed is very slow. After the operation, the patient has to go hungry and cannot eat and move normally, which has a great impact on the patient's daily work and life. After kidney stone lithotripsy, you should drink more water and exercise more to promote the excretion of stones.

2. Damage to the liver and kidneys

Extracorporeal lithotripsy can damage renal function and the physiological structure of the kidneys and form intrarenal scars, which can affect the normal functioning of the human body and easily lead to various complications. At the same time, it also hinders the effect of drugs in dissolving and removing stones, and makes it very difficult to completely treat the stones.

3. No cure

Extracorporeal lithotripsy only targets the stones themselves and cannot improve a person's physical condition. Stones are not a part of the human body, but are caused by various acquired reasons. Therefore, if you fail to improve your physical condition and just keep breaking the stones, a vicious cycle will be formed in which the stones grow and break, break and grow, break and grow again, grow and break again, and the root cause of the stones cannot be cut off. Therefore, unless it is a huge staghorn-like stone, surgical treatment is not recommended. Even if lithotripsy or surgery is necessary, timely follow-up examinations and symptomatic medications must be used to thoroughly treat the disease and repair the function of the organ.
