Lithotripsy is a procedure that uses shockwaves to break kidney stones to smaller pieces. These can then pass out of the body with urine.
Kidney stones may not be painful till they start moving. When they grow larger, they can block flow of urine causing infection. You should take steps to remove the stone as soon as they are diagnosed.
Most stones cannot be dissolved with medicines. Painkillers will help you manage pain as they pass.
ESWL is a non-invasive procedure. You will be able to walk from the next day and return to normal life in around two weeks’ time.
