Hi, Calculus measuring 6.4*5.2 cms is noted in the right distal ureter 1.2 cm proximal to the vesicoureteral junction. This is my CT scan report. What can be possible treatment to this? Can anyone help me with this?

The stone in the ureter causes severe pain when body tries to push it down by vigorous peristalsis in the ureter. That is called as ureteric colick. Sometimes that pain is so severe that the person feels nauseated and feels like vomiting. The narrowest portion in the ureter is vescico-ureteral junction. Generally stones of the size less than 7 mm are passed down by the body over the period of time. Some times the stones could be larger size or could be stuck at the same level detected by periodic USG or the X-ray examination. In that case the procedures like scoot guided removal are recommended to get the stone out. Regular follow up with your surgeon or urologist is advised. Meantime I will advise you to keep on taking adequate quantity of water so that you create good amount of urine which will help you to flush it out.
