肾结石看病挂What科室
In general, patients with kidney stones can seek medical consultation in departments such as nephrology, urology, endocrinology, general surgery, or emergency medicine. If patients experience any discomfort, they should promptly visit a hospital for targeted treatment to avoid delays in their condition. Specific details are as follows:
1. Nephrology
Kidney stones are a type of stone disease occurring within the kidneys. Patients may experience renal colic when affected, and thus can undergo relevant examinations and treatments in the nephrology department.
2. Urology
Kidney stones form due to the deposition of certain components in urine within the kidneys, leading to various urinary system symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and hematuria. Therefore, patients can also be evaluated in the urology department.
3. Endocrinology
If hormonal imbalances or endocrine disorders contribute to the development of kidney stones, patients should visit the endocrinology department for thorough evaluation to identify the underlying cause.
4. General Surgery
If kidney stones are large in size and require surgical intervention, patients can complete necessary evaluations in the general surgery department and proceed with surgery as directed by their physician.
5. Emergency Medicine
If a patient's condition is critical—such as sudden, severe, unbearable pain in the waist or abdomen, or acute urinary retention and inability to urinate—they should immediately go to the emergency department for prompt evaluation and treatment.
For kidney stones caused by pathological factors, it is also essential to actively treat the underlying disease to prevent stone formation and recurrence.
