Patient's question:
I have ureteral stones, about 1.5 mm. Last time when I had an ultrasound, the doctor said they were located in the upper ureter. This time when I went for another scan, they said they are in the lower ureter. Can they pass on their own?Doctor's answer:
This may be excreted under the action of urine flushing, or it may remain in a certain part, causing some symptoms of stones such as abdominal pain or even nausea and vomiting.Advice: I recommend that you focus on increasing water intake in your diet, avoid consuming foods high in calcium, and engage in appropriate exercise, such as jumping exercises. For your condition, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can be very effective in dissolving stones through syndrome differentiation and herbal therapy. Don't get too anxious, and pay attention to rest.
