Introduction to Ureter Stones

Ureter stones are small, hard deposits that form in the kidneys and travel down the ureter, causing pain and potential blockage. These stones can disrupt urinary flow, leading to discomfort, infection, or severe kidney complications if untreated.

  • High levels of calcium or oxalate in urine
  • Urinary tract infections
  • Genetic predisposition

Diagnosis & Evaluation

Our clinic utilizes advanced diagnostic tools such as:

  • Ultrasound & CT Scans – To detect stone size and location
  • Urine & Blood Tests – To check for infections and underlying causes
  • X-rays – To track the movement of stones

Treatment Options

We offer several effective treatments based on the size and severity of the ureter stone:
Medication Therapy: Small stones may pass naturally with prescribed pain relievers and hydration.
Ureteroscopy (URS): A minimally invasive procedure where a small scope removes the stone.
Shock Wave Lithotripsy (SWL): Non-surgical treatment using sound waves to break the stone.
Surgical Removal: In severe cases, a minor surgical procedure may be required.
