What is lithotripsy treatment

2018-09-09 11:03:36
Hello. I am a 32 year old man. I recently started experiencing pain in my abdominal area and back. I went to the doctor and had my ultra sound done which showed the presence of kidney stones. He advised me to go through a lithotripsy treatment as I don’t want an invasive surgery but I don’t know what it is. Can anyone let me know what is lithotripsy treatment?
