Hi dear.Thanks for writing your query on HCM.

ESWL has a success rate of 90%.Normally it does not have any side effects.Donot worry about fibrosis since this is not a procedure.Its just using high energy shock waves to break the stones in small fragments so that they easily pass in urine.Hope this answers your query.You shall do well.All the best.
