How Can A Stone In The Ureter Be Treated?
Take treatment suggested as detailed below
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have been detected to have stone of a size of 5 mm in Right Ureter at Uretero Vesical Junction with back pressure changes in ureter and kidney (Hydrouretero Nephrosis).
Normally stone up to size of 8 mm pass out through urine spontaneously and no surgical intervention is required .
I would suggest you take following treatment
1) Drink more water 4-5 liters per day to produce more urine
2) Take antibiotic like Norfloxacin and Nitofurantoin twice daily to prevent infection .
3) Take Tomsulosin once daily .This drug is a smooth muscle relaxant and dilates the ureter wand thereby helps to pass the stone
4) Drotaverine twice daily .twice daily this helps to move the stone downwards without pain .
Take treatment for 10 days .In majority of cases this helps to pass the stone through urine .
Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions ,I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.
