Hey.

Welcome to HCM.

Let me first inform you that, if the stone size is less than 10 mm, then definitely there is a chance to flush it out from our body by specific medicines.

In your case, the stone size is 18 mm and also it is stuck in the ureter as informed by you, which is giving you severe pain.

In my opinion, you can go ahead for surgery.

Do not worry it will be not an open surgery.

Lithotripsy is done in such cases, which is minimal invasive surgery.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any other questions, then i will be happy to answer it.

Wish you good health.

Take good care of yourself.

Warm Regards.
Dr. Surender sharma.
