How will you feel immediately after a lithotripsy op?
I've had lithotripsy twice. I didn't feel well at all after them. I felt dizzy, and my side bothered me. I just wanted to close my eyes, but the nurse wants you to wake up and start moving. The symptoms eased gradually. I took a few days off work, and each day I felt gradually better. This is now the third day and I'm going back to work, but if I don't feel well there I'll leave at noon. I'm a bit concerned that there's blood and tiny blood clots in the urine still, but some websites say that can last a week or more. I don't think that tiny blood clots are something to worry about, though they say large blood clots are. There are just little pieces of blood that can be picked up with a tweezer, and don't look that big to me. In short, lithotripsy makes you feel lousy for a while but the feeling gradually decreases. As the pain decreased, the redness and skin irritation increased.

How is a lithotripsy performed?
Lithotripsy is a medical procedure used to treat kidney stones by breaking them into smaller pieces. The most common type, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), involves using shock waves generated outside the body, which are focused on the stones to fragment them. The procedure is typically done under sedation, and patients may experience some discomfort, but it is generally non-invasive and allows for quick recovery. After the treatment, the broken stone fragments can then pass out of the body through urine.

This procedure is often used to treat kidney stones that are too large to pass on their own.
