Hello, based on what you've mentioned, it seems that you have been diagnosed with ureteral stones. It appears that the stones are relatively large. If you only rely on medication, the effectiveness might not be very good.Suggestions: In this case, you could consider undergoing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) or minimally invasive surgery. Both are effective treatment methods.
