Shock waves to crush kidney stones?
I had shock waves to crush a large calcium stone growing in my ureter. It didn't work, but I guess it would be according to the size, and where it is located, and what type of stone it is. Check with your urologist. All I do know is they can be extreemly painfull.
What will be an appropriate medical surgery for a 43.8 mm kidney stone?
Depends on the exact location of the stone. I had a large stone growing, and attached about midway down in my left ureter. The urologists at the VA Hospital in Houston put me through various operations attempting to remove the stone. They went in through my penis and tried to "Jab" it loose and was unsuccessful, then they tried to use high power ultrasound to break it up and was unsuccessful, then they went in through my back with open surgery and through my kidney and into the ureter and manually extracted the stone. I don't know the exact method that would be best for you, but a lot if pain was involved. Local anesthetics were used because I had to be awake while the surgery was being done. This was a very large calcium stone.
If you have a kidney infection or kidney stones can it feel like your lower sides hurt or can it feel like your uterus hurts?
Kidney stones can cause severe pain in different areas. Depending on the location of the stone, it may cause pain in your lower back on the left or right side. If it has moved on to your ureter, there may be pain in your pelvic region. However, if you are having pain and you know that it is kidney stones, you should see a urologist who can determine if there is blockage occurring and possibly give you a prescription pain medication.
If your kidney doesn't function can you get a kidney stone?
If your kidneys don't work, you get very ill, very quickly. Kidney stones are irrelevant in this connection. I have kidney failure and one of the first things that happened to me was I got kidney stones. I don't know if this is typical of kidney failure.
Can you have kidney stones for decades and not know it?
Yes, kidney stones can remain in your kidney for many years. Until the body tells the stone to move or get out of the kidney, it can remain in place for many, many years causing no problems at all.
How do you treat a stricture of the left ureter?
I do not believe this question can be answered without much more information. Has the tube actually narrowed, or is there an obstruction like a kidney stone? How do you know this is the problem, and what have you been told? What are the symptoms? Is there anything unusual about your diet? Had any drugs, surgeries, or major injuries? There are tonics to improve the function of the bladder and kidneys, but it is unwise to ignore any potential underlying problems. For now, I suggest drinking lots of lemonade and cranberry juice. You might want to try some licorice extract, which can be found at a health food store. I do not want to say anymore before I have more information. Stay away from calcium for now. Ureter, the etwa 25-30 cm long tube (in adults), arises from the renal pelvis, from which peristaltic waves force the urine into it. There are two ureters, as each kidney has its own tube. These two ureters convey urine from the kidneys to the bladder. Their diameter are relatively small, about 3 mm. Occationally, stone(s) form in the renal pelvis, and depending on the size, it might stack in the ureter, blocking urine's flow, and causing pain. If the stone is able to pass (by peristalsis), the pain of it stretching the ureter's wall, still could be felt.

How do you know if you're passing a kidney stone?
Kidney stones are tiny pieces of minerals, like calcium, that collect in the kidneys and are too large to pass easily along the ureter, to the bladder, and out through the urethra. Symptoms of kidney stones, called nephrolithiasis, include extreme localized pain, perspiration, and often an associated infection. The most common symptom of kidney stones is a debilitating, shooting, intense pain anywhere in the abdomen. A kidney stone still lodged in the kidney would cause pain on one side, near your lower back. If it has moved partly down your ureter, the passage connecting the kidneys to the bladder, the pain might originate in your lower abdomen, side, or groin. A strong, continuous pain might indicate that the kidney stone is stuck permanently and will not be passed without a doctor's intervention. Other symptoms of kidney stones include clammy, cold, hot, or sweaty skin accompanying a fever or chills. Fever usually means the stone has caused a blockage, and your kidneys and urination cannot function normally. This kind of infection must be treated with antibiotics, as well as by removing the kidney stone. You might also be tired, nauseated, not hungry, or experience diarrhea or constipation. Some symptoms of kidney stones are very similar to the symptoms of a urinary tract infection or cystitis, especially in women. These have to do with urination. You might notice discolored or cloudy urine and pain, smarting, or burning during urination. A frequent or urgent need to urinate is usually a false alarm, as it may be difficult to actually urinate more than a tiny amount. Given these warning symptoms, a doctor can diagnose kidney stones by doing a blood or urine test, conducting an ultrasound, or taking an X-ray with or without dye. Then a medical professional can eliminate the kidney stone by a variety of methods, ranging from non-invasive flushing with lots of liquid, to minor surgery under general anaesthetic.
How are Kidney-ureter-bladder KUB Radiography and Intravenous Pyelogram IVP important when using them prior to an Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy ESWL?
ESWL is to break the kidney stones and to know whether you actually have it, you need KUB in the first place. KUB and IVP are diagnostic procedure while ESWL is therapeutic.
Does it hurt to pee out kidney stones?
Generally it does not hurt when the stone actually comes out. The most painful (and trust me it's very painful) part is when it travels from your kidney to your bladder. The tube it passes through is called the ureter; a tube that is quite a bit smaller than the urethra. How ever if it is a large stone it may come to rest in the bladder as well as the urethra. This can cause a sensation of needed to urinate constantly and may be accompanied by a burning sensation when you pee. Though most of the time when a stone has exited the ureter the rest may be an uncomfortable or awkward feeling but not so much painful and 9/10 it's over very fast.
