Suggest Exercises To Pass Residual Fragments After SWL
I had shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) yesterday to pulverize an 8mm stone in my upper ureter tract. Now 24 hrs later, I m in severe pain. Is that because the fragments are now passing into the bladder? The pain seems higher than the urethra. Any exercises to help the fragments pass?
You have undergone ESWL to fragment stone in your upper ureter and now getting severe pain in abdomen
The pain is most likely to be due to the facts that fragments of the stone have stuck up at Uretero Vesical Junction (UVJ)which is the narrowest part of terminal portion of ureter .
Take following medications 1) Tab Tomsulosin once daily 2) Tab Drotaverine twice daily 3) Antibiotic to prevent infection . 4) Ensure you drink more water to produce more urine and there by help to pass the fragments quickly
Do not worry these fragments will come down in bladder spontaneously within a day or two .
