What should be noted after lithotripsy for ureteral stones?

After lithotripsy for ureteral stones, patients should pay attention to the following points to promote recovery and prevent recurrence: 1. Drink plenty of water: Choose cooled boiled water instead of raw water, as minerals in raw water may cause deposition. Maintain a daily water intake of 2,000 to 3,000 ml or more, which helps dilute urine and promote stone expulsion. 2. Engage in appropriate physical activity: Activities such as climbing stairs or jumping rope may help expel stones, but avoid strenuous exercise to prevent injury. 3. Adjust diet: Avoid vegetables containing calcium oxalate, such as spinach. Reduce intake of cholesterol and foods high in sugar and fat to prevent stone recurrence. 4. Monitor and follow up: Pay attention to hematuria (blood in urine), which typically subsides gradually. Observe stone expulsion two to four weeks after surgery and follow medical advice for regular follow-up examinations.
