Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Ureteic stones less than 5 mm size are passed in the urine normally.
If the size of the stone is big it causes obstruction leading to back pressure, which results in hydroureter and hydronephrosis.
Consultation of urologist is essential for treatment of the above condition.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
