Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of ureteral stones?Doctor's answer:
When stones do not move, they often show no symptoms. When they do move, symptoms such as hematuria (blood in urine) and pain may occur due to friction with the local mucosa.Advice: Hello, if the stone is less than 1 cm in size, it can generally be expelled from the body through medication. If the stone is larger than 1 cm, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) can be chosen to break the stone into smaller pieces for excretion. If this is not effective, surgical treatment options such as ureteroscopy or traditional surgery can be considered.
