Urinary tract stones are usually excreted in a few days

Urinary calculi can be removed in a variety of ways.

The size and shape of the stones are important factors that affect the removal time. Smaller stones, such as those with a diameter of less than 0.6 cm and smooth surface, may be relatively easy to pass through the urinary tract naturally. This process may take days to weeks. However, larger stones are more difficult to pass by themselves and may stay in the urinary tract for a long time, even causing obstruction.

Patients should seek medical advice promptly after discovering urinary calculi. Doctors will evaluate and formulate individualized treatment plans according to specific conditions to promote the removal of stones as soon as possible. At the same time, patients should closely observe their symptoms, such as increased pain, fever, hematuria and other abnormal conditions, and should be promptly returned to hospital.
