Hydroureteronephrosis suggest that the stone is impacted in the ureter causing back pressure changes in the ureter .In such a situation it is advisable not to wait and expect the stone to pass down naturally as there is risk of damage to kidney .

Please consult qualified Urologist for evaluation and get it removed by Endoscopic Procedure called as Uretero Renoscopy with fragmentation of stone to prevent further damage to the kidney.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for feed back.
It is difficult to predict when the stone will come down.You can certainly wait for 2 more weeks and repeat ultrasound scanning after two weeks and if the stone is at the same level and has not come down it is advisable to get procedure done .

Please note that during this expectant period if she gets severe pain .vomiting,fever do consult Urologist for immediate intervention.

Thanks and Regards.
