Position on the right side. What to do?
Brief Answer:
It will require Laser surgery.
Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir,
Thank you for your question.
Proximal Ureteric stone should be dealt with by Laser surgery.
They would put a scope through your urinary tract and with a Uretero-renoscope push the stone into the kidney and then break it with laser into small fragments so that it can flow out with the urine without causing any blockages. They also might like to put a stent(DJ or Double J shaped) into the Ureter from the kidney till the bladder to avoid any blockages. The treatment is simple without any cuts on the body.
You will need to consult a Urologist for the same. It would be better to get it treated as it can otherwise lead to blockage and problems.
Take care and do let me know if there are any queries on this issue.

Can rowatinex(German drug) take care of this stone. If you do not know rowatinex, please look it up. Thank you
Brief Answer:
You could give it a try.
Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir,
I have no experience with Rowatinex. But you could give it a try but I really cant comment as to how effective it would be. If it works it would be great and you could avoid a surgery. The company says that Rowatinex can break the stones and help them get cleared.If these claims are true then you should have good results.
But please consult a Urologist before you start this treatment. This is what I would advice.
Take care and do let me know if there are other queries.
