Patient's question:
In November 2007, I suddenly had severe stomach pain. I went to the hospital and got an injection, which relieved the pain. However, the doctor said it was a kidney stone. In the past few months, when I visited the doctor, the tests also confirmed it was a kidney stone. The doctor mentioned that kidney stones and ureteral stones are actually the same thing, but I don't know what the differences are. I would like to consult with experts about this. How serious is my condition?Doctor's answer:
Urinary tract stones include ureteral stones, bladder stones, and their scope is larger than kidney stones.
