Lower ureteral stones are painful every day, and the stones may not be able to be discharged on their own, so painkillers should be used to relieve the pain, and appropriate lithotripsy treatment should be carried out, such as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy lithotripsy lithotripsy and extraction, and so on.
If the stone in the lower ureter hurts every day and the pain is more obvious, painkillers can be applied to improve the pain, such as ibuprofen, tramadol, etc., and consult a doctor for examination to make sure that the stone can’t be discharged on its own, and the size of the stone is less than 1.2 centimeters, then extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy can be considered.
If the diameter of the stone in the lower ureter is larger than 1.2 centimeters, or the effect of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is unsatisfactory, ureteral lithotripsy can be considered to be performed to remove the stone, because the stone is not removed for a long period of time, which may cause complications such as hydronephrosis.
During the treatment period, one should follow the doctor’s instruction and treat with reasonable medication.
