First follow-up question: (March 8, 2008, 21:08:50) I have a stone in my ureter. Is it good to undergo lithotripsy? Second follow-up question: (March 9, 2008, 21:10:10) There is a stone below the ureter.Doctor's answer:
Treatment can be oral medication. For example, 654-2 tablets (Anisodamine tablets) have side effects such as dry mouth, facial flushing, and increased heart rate, which disappear after discontinuation. Other medications include tablets, Amoxicillin, or Erythromycin tablets (which may cause gastrointestinal reactions, such as nausea and vomiting). Additionally, spicy and hard foods, as well as alcohol and smoking, should be avoided. If symptoms continue to worsen, it is important to seek medical attention early to avoid delaying the condition.
