hello doctor, I am a 31 years old femail. i have a VUJ calculus of 7mm size in left kidney with moderate dilatation of ureter and pelvicaliceal system. I was recommended flush therapy by getting admitted for a day in a hospital. can you please tell me the actual procedure for this flush therapy?
Hello and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist, let me explain this simple treatment principle. The left side kidney to bladder tube(ureter),has a 7mm stone blocking the ureter at it's lower junction with bladder, causing left sided block and pain, and thereby affecting the left kidney. Major part of urine formed is being flushed out from the right sided kidney. In flush therapy, person is asked to drink more than 3 litres liquids daily, hoping to push the stone into the bladder, from where, it may even flush out. You may send the reports to me directly, for a better answer. Dr.Matthew J. Mangat.
