Patient's question:
Hello, I had a physical examination at my workplace last September, and the results showed a stone at the lower end of the right ureter, accompanied by severe hydronephrosis. However, my overall health has been excellent, and I have not experienced any outward symptoms such as lower back pain or discomfort.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to administer progesterone intramuscularly. Progesterone can not only relieve the spasm of renal pelvis and ureter smooth muscle and treat renal colic, but also dilate the ureter and promote diuresis, thereby facilitating stone expulsion. Take stone-expelling granules for treatment. Appropriately use spasmolytic drugs to relax the ureter and use anti-inflammatory drugs appropriately. However, it is crucial to drink plenty of water. Stones larger than 1 cm are recommended for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. Those smaller than 0.5 cm can be treated solely with medication to promote expulsion. In very severe cases, surgical treatment is necessary.
