Suggest Treatment For Urinary Calculi

I had urinary calculi in my left ureter( proximal) and there was hydronephrosis as a consequence of it. I took homeopathic medicine for a month and I did not feel any pain thereafter . To know about my situation , I got my ultrasound done 4 weeks back . There was still hydronephrosis but doctor could not locate the calculi. I am not on any treatment now. What should I do now?

Hello,

Stone in proximal ureter most of time leads to hydronephrosis due to back pressure. But if hydronephrosis prolongs for longer time then it can harm the kidney too.
As per your description, now no stone is visible but hydronephrosis persists after homeopathic treatment. It means, still there is a stone there which is not visualised due to inflammation or any other cause. So better you consult some Urologist and get an CT urography done for exact pathology. If there is regular pain or hydronephrosis continues then better you go for intervention.

Thank you
