Urologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for query ,
You have been detected to have impacted stone in ureter.

The deciding factor to deal with such stone are
1) Degree of Hydronephrosis (Back presuure changes in kidney) due to impacted stone in ureter
2) Fever or Vomiting
3) Severe pain
4) Site (Level ) of impaction of stone .

If the pain is bearable you can certainly wait for a week and expect this stone to pass our spontaneously with following treatment
1) Plenty of fluids orally
2) Tomsulosin once daily
3) Drotavarine twice daily
4) pain killers like Cyclopam .

If it fails to pass out with this treatment you will need to get it removed by an endoscopic procedure called URS for which you will need to consult qualified Urologist .
