Hi, welcome to HCM.
Looking to your history, it seems that stone obstructing the lowermost part of ureter and causing backpressure changes over kidney.
Laser treatment can break the stone but sometime it can remove the stone fragments.
So, it is advisable in your case to do treatment with endoscopy and remove the stone completely.
Maintain adequate hydration.
Do basic urine report to rule out kidney infection.
I think this would be helpful to you.
Best wishes. TC.
