I had lithotripsy at Yonsei Urology Clinic.

My husband couldn't lie down or stand up due to back pain in the early morning, so he took an ambulance to the hospital.

They said it was a kidney stone.

They said they needed to break up the stones, but since it was a Saturday, they could only see an emergency doctor, so we couldn't get an examination and just received a prescription to do it next time. However, my husband said he felt like he couldn't bear the pain.

While looking for an open urology clinic nearby, I stopped by Yonsei Baro Urology Clinic, which has an extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy machine.

Even though I went early in the morning, there were a lot of patients, but the waiting time wasn't long.

Since extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy does not involve cutting, there is no particular need to worry, but they said that there may be pain.

I thought the kidney stones would hurt more, so I decided to do it right away, but it made a lot of noise and took quite a while.

I don't know how much it usually costs since it's my first time doing it, but it was quite expensive.

He said that he hasn't been in a lot of pain since then, but he still feels like the stone is still there sometimes because it hasn't been completely expelled.
