UTI and lithotripsy: If you have had lithotripsy, you must have urinary tract stone(s). Stones can predispose to UTI, but lithotripsy itself does not. Having had lithotripsy, you're probably in the care of a urologist. UTI after lithotripsy isn't likely to be especially dangerous, but you'll should contact your doctor for advice. Nobody on a forum like this can help without much more detailed information. Good luck.
