ESWL is a non-surgical method that uses shock waves applied from outside the body to break kidney stones and urinary tract stones into small pieces. These broken stone fragments are then naturally passed out through the urine.

Benefits of ESWL treatment for kidney and urinary stones include:

• Painless procedure
• Cost-effective
• Quick treatment time (typically within 45 minutes to 1 hour)
• Minimally invasive, no need for surgery

Important Note:
Only stones smaller than 10 mm (1 cm) to 1.5 cm can be effectively treated with ESWL. Therefore, it is important to know the size of your stones beforehand.

After ESWL treatment, patients should:

• Drink plenty of water to help flush out the stone fragments
• Monitor the passing stones carefully
• Follow up with their doctor for regular check-ups

Before undergoing ESWL, it is essential to consult with experienced specialists to ensure the treatment is suitable and to schedule appointments accordingly.
