Mr. Chen sought medical attention for blood in urine, back pain, and recurrent fever, and was initially relieved after treatment but returned due to persistent left-sided back pain. A CT scan revealed a 0.7 cm kidney stone in his left ureter, causing symptoms like high fever and back pain. After undergoing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in the urology department, his symptoms improved significantly. Common factors leading to kidney stones include genetics, male gender, improper diet, sedentary lifestyle, environmental factors, and certain diseases. Treatment options include conservative medication, lithotripsy, ureteroscopy, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy, with advice to consult a specialist for the most appropriate approach. Recommendations to prevent kidney stones include staying hydrated, dietary modifications, regular exercise, and seeking immediate medical attention in case of sudden severe back pain, blood in urine, or changes in urination.
