Ureteral Stones & Urethral Care Treatment
Ureteral stones, which are kidney stones that pass into the ureter, can cause severe pain and urinary obstruction. Treatment depends on the size and location of the stones. Small stones may pass naturally with increased fluid intake and pain management, while larger stones often require intervention. Shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) is a non-invasive procedure that uses sound waves to break the stones into smaller pieces, allowing them to pass more easily. In more severe cases, ureteroscopy or percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) may be necessary to remove the stones surgically.
Prevention is key to avoiding recurrent stones, with dietary changes such as reducing salt and protein intake and staying hydrated playing a major role. Medications may also be prescribed to alter the composition of urine and prevent the formation of new stones. Regular follow-ups are important to monitor for recurrence and ensure the urethra and urinary tract remain healthy.
