Patient's question:
The course of the right ureter at its lower segment shows a calcified focus with a size of approximately 4.65.35.9mm. There is a calculus in the lower segment of the right ureter and hydronephrosis in the upper segment of the ureter. FormerlyDoctor's answer:
The treatment of urethral calculi should be aimed at early detection and early treatment. Small stones in the navicular fossa can be removed with forceps. For patients with urethral stricture, stone removal should be performed under local anesthesia. For anterior urethral calculi, increasing fluid intake can help. During urination, the glans penis should be pinched to use urine to flush out the stones. This method can be repeated multiple times. Urinary lubricants can also be injected into the urethra, and the patient can gently press and urinate to expel the stone, or use a urethral hook or stone retrieval forceps to remove it. For larger or impacted stones, urethral incisional stone removal may be necessary. Regular urethral dilation should also be performed after stone removal to prevent urethral stricture. Urethral calculi can also be treated by pushing the stones into the bladder with a probe and then treating them as bladder stones. When urethral calculi are combined with diverticula, both the stones and diverticula should be surgically removed. In cases of acute urinary retention, small catheters can be inserted for temporary indwelling catheterization. If insertion is not possible, bladder or urethral incisional stone removal should be performed.
