Hello
Thanks for query.

Your wife has 6.4 mm stone in the lower portion of Ureter with mild back pressure changes (Hydronephrosis).

There are high chances of this stone getting passed down spontaneously.

Ensure that she takes more water to produce more urine so that it can get flushed out with urine .

Taking smooth muscle relaxants like Drotaverine and Tomsulosin twice daily will help to pass it down with ease .

Repeat Ultrasound Scanning after two weeks .
