Patient's question:
My dear, I used to be in good health, but in the past two years, I've been experiencing some minor health issues. Recently, I felt unwell again and went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said it's a calculus in the lower segment of the right fallopian tube. Could you please tell me what are the dangers of a calculus in the lower segment of the right fallopian tube?Doctor's answer:
1 Pain(1) Colic is intermittent, characterized by radiation along the same ureteral direction to the lower abdomen, perineum, external genitalia, or inner thigh.
(2) Nephrolithiasis (kidney stones) after ureteral obstruction leads to dull pain due to renal (hydronephrosis) and renal (shifting of the kidney capsule). Mild hematuria is microscopic hematuria, while severe hematuria is gross hematuria.
2 Other
(1) Nausea, vomiting, and no pain relief after vomiting.
(2) Stones located in the lower ureter cause bladder irritation symptoms. Combining with relaxants for the ureter increases the effectiveness of stone removal.
