Urinary calculi are usually referred to as urethral calculi. How long it takes for urinary calculi to be discharged after lithotripsy varies from person to person. It may take 3-7 days, or longer.
Urinary calculi will be broken into small pieces after lithotripsy, and then discharged with urethra itself. If patients can drink more water and exercise more after surgery, this can accelerate the stone discharge, which may be discharged in 3-7 days. However, if they do not drink more water or exercise more after surgery, the stone discharge speed may be slower, and the specific time required is uncertain. Secondly, some patients take lithotripsy.
