Ureter stones are stones that develop in the urinary system and move into the ureter, the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder. Depending on their size and location, ureter stones may cause severe pain, blood in the urine, nausea, vomiting or difficulty passing urine.
Dr. Ankush Sharma provides evaluation and treatment guidance for patients with ureter stones. Assessment may include understanding the patient's symptoms, medical history and previous history of urinary stones. Investigations may be advised to determine the stone's size, location and effect on urinary flow.
Treatment planning depends on several factors, including:
- Previous history of stones
- Overall health of the patient
Depending on the individual case, treatment may involve observation and medical management or minimally invasive procedures for stone removal. The hospital provides endoscopic stone management options including URSL – Ureteroscopic Stone Removal.
When Should You Consult a Urologist?
Seek medical consultation if you experience:
- Severe pain in the back or side
- Pain extending towards the abdomen or groin
- Repeated urinary symptoms
- Fever associated with urinary symptoms
Early assessment can help determine the appropriate treatment approach.
