Patients with cystitis who also have bladder stones need to use antibiotics for local anti-inflammatory treatment. Meanwhile, the bladder stones require formal treatment. If the size of the stone is less than 2 centimeters, patients can undergo extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in the lithotripsy department. If the size of the stone is more than 2 centimeters, patients need to visit the urology department for minimally invasive surgery, specifically ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy. During this procedure, a ureteroscope is inserted through the urethra to visually break up and flush out the stone.
