Ureteral calculi are ureteral stones, which are not rare in daily life. According to the physiological characteristics of men and women, men are mostly male, the ratio of male to female is 4.5: 1, and most commonly seen in young adults. The incidence rate of 20~40 years is the highest. Ureteral stone is rare. The main reason is that urinary salt crystals are more easily discharged into the bladder with urine. Most of the stones are from the kidney, including kidney stones or stones falling after extracorporeal shock wave. Although ureteral calculi is not a serious disease, but still need active treatment. Let's take a look at the following.

Is right ureteral calculi serious

First: Patients with stones, the first consideration is to drink more water, because the stones exist in the urethra, so you can increase the probability of excreting stones by increasing the amount of urination. Of course, urinary stones are very painful, so you can cooperate with analgesic and antispasmodic drugs or other treatments, such as acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, to help the stone discharge.

Second: if the patient's stones are less than 0.4cm, more than 90% of them can be discharged by themselves as long as they drink more water, more than 50% of the stones with the size of 4.0-5.9mm can be discharged by themselves, and only 20% of the stones larger than 6mm can be discharged. Of course, the premise of these cases is that the patient has no urinary tract infection. If there is urinary tract infection, the patient's urethra will become smaller, affecting the discharge of stones.

Third: if the stones are large and can not be discharged by various methods, the patients can choose extracorporeal lithotripsy and smash the stones in the urethra by laser. If not, they can only be operated. The advantage of ureterolithotomy is that the operation is small and the stones can be removed completely.
