Answer
Hello. Endoscopic retrograde ureteral lithotripsy is the insertion of the endoscope into the urinary tract, that is, through the urethra, bladder, and up the ureter. This does not affect the hymen at all because the vagina and urethra are two separate passages.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards.
