Is a stone at the top of the ureter where it meets the kidney a ureteral stone?

Patient's question:

I recently don't know what's going on, my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. Is a stone at the top of the ureter where it meets the bladder a ureteral stone?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, as you mentioned, if during the follow-up examination after this lithotripsy, it is found that there is no significant change in the size and location of the stones, my suggestion is that there is little meaning in trying lithotripsy again. Of course, if you want to try again, theoretically, it is allowed, and regular follow-up is better. I believe everyone knows that urinary tract stones cause more harm to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. Pay attention to dietary issues in daily life, avoid stimulating foods, and maintain a balanced diet. Moreover, regular follow-up can be scheduled when necessary.
