What to do if you have right ureteral stones

What should I do if I have right ureteral stones?

1. Stones in the right ureter can cause severe pain in the waist and abdomen. You can go to the hospital in time for a color Doppler ultrasound examination of the urinary system to determine the size of the stone. Stones smaller than 4mm can be treated with conservative treatment plans. Try to drink more water, urinate more, move more, take stone-removing granules orally to speed up the excretion of stones, and use tamsulosin sustained-release capsules to reduce ureteral spasms.

2. If the stone is small, less than six millimeters in the ureter, and has a round and smooth surface, conservative treatment can be the first choice. The patient needs to drink more water, urinate frequently, exercise more, and take Halor, which is tamsulosin hydrochloride, orally. Two tablets a day can help relieve spasms of the ureteral smooth muscle, thereby facilitating the excretion of stones.

3. For right ureteral stones, an assessment should be made first, and then a decision should be made on how to deal with them. Right ureteral stones must be examined by B-ultrasound to determine the location of the stones, the size of the stones, the number of stones, whether there is water accumulation in the kidneys, the condition of ureteral dilation, how far the stones are from the renal pelvis, and whether the stones are in the upper, middle, or lower part of the ureter.

What should be paid attention to during ureteral stone surgery?

Patients with ureteral stones should first pay attention to drinking more water, urinating frequently, exercising more, and going to the urology department for regular checkups, because stones are prone to occur. After the ureteral stone surgery method is selected, some relevant physical examinations should be performed, such as cardiopulmonary function tests, and some infectious diseases should be checked, or some other urinary system diseases should be ruled out, such as urinary tract infections, or serious diseases of other organs in the body, such as diabetes, hyperlipidemia, or serious heart and lung diseases. If after two weeks, a review of the urinary system color ultrasound or CT shows that the stone has not shifted and is stuck in the ureter, it will cause ureteral obstruction, cause upper urinary tract water accumulation, and damage kidney function.
