I treated the stone using an endoscope.

I visited the hospital due to a stone formation and had an X-ray taken as a standard procedure.
Since it was not visible on the X-ray, a CT scan was performed, and a stone was found quite low in the area.
Since it was not visible on the X-ray, I underwent an endoscopic procedure after hospitalization and received treatment for the stone.

One day, while resting at home, I experienced severe pain, whether it was from my stomach or my back. Even after going to the bathroom and lying down for a while, the pain did not subside at all. Since it was very late in the evening, I forced myself to sleep. The next morning, I visited the hospital, and after a simple examination, I was told that I might need stone removal treatment. To get an accurate diagnosis, I had an X-ray taken. However, the results showed no visible signs of stones. Although the diagnosis suggested that it might be a stone, since it was not visible on the X-ray, they recommended a CT scan. When the CT scan was performed, the stones finally became visible. Usually, CT results are not available immediately, so I had a very difficult few days waiting to see the results. Anyway, the CT confirmed the presence of stones, and I was told that natural passage of the stones might be difficult. Additionally, since the stones did not show up on the X-ray, shock wave treatment for stones could not be performed. As a result, I had to undergo a procedure using an endoscope to remove the stones, which is a treatment that is rarely done nowadays.
I was hospitalized for stone treatment, and I was told that I wouldn't need to stay long because it was an endoscopic procedure. After being admitted and moved to the operating room, an injection was given in my lower back to administer anesthesia below the waist. Then, an endoscope was inserted through the urethra to break and remove the stone. The treatment, which could be called either surgery or a procedure, didn't take as long as I expected. I was under local anesthesia, so I was fully conscious, and after being transferred to the ward, recovery didn't take very long. However, since this was my first time receiving anesthesia below the waist, I was quite worried about whether my legs would move normally again. Fortunately, I recovered well, and I was discharged after only two days of hospitalization. As you know, kidney stones are extremely painful, so the process of treatment was difficult, but having an endoscopic procedure, which is now rarely performed, was also quite a challenging experience.
