Dear Ajay You should get one IVP done after taking advice from your urologist to confirm this ureteric stone. Most of the large ureteric stones generally cause symptoms as soon as they enter the ureter. Some larger stones are big enough to have irregular shapes, so they may not completely obstruct the ureter or cause severe symptoms. The smaller stones often make their way further down the ureter before they are noticed. Small smooth stones are often associated with more severe pain because they are more likely to completely obstruct the ureter. ESWL, URS can be performed to remove the symptomatic ureteric stone. Please keep in mind that exact treatment of ureteric stone can only be found after IVP. With regard J S Chowhan |
