Question 1

i hav bilateral renal calculi since 5 years. as of now in my right proximal ureter i hav a 7mm stone causing hydrouteronephrosis please suggest a cure?

Accepted Answer

Urologist: Unfortunately, there is no easy "cure" for a 7 mm proximal ureteral stone.  You have a small, but not zero, chance to pass this on your own, but even if you can, it will be painful and may cause you to miss substantial amounts of work or school.  You need to see a urologist to discuss your options, which fortunately are minimally invasive in most instances. Good luck!

Question 2

where is proximal right ureter? is close to kidney?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, the term proximal means next to or close to.

Question 3

i have non obstructive renal calculi between 3 to 4mm. will i know if it blocks the ureter? i get pain around twice a day which last  less than a min.

Accepted Answer

See below: You may not know if the stone blocks the ureter. It would be prudent to consult a urologist to see if it would be feasible to remove the stones endoscopically. In the mean time drink plenty of water daily.

Question 4

what does mild caliectasis of kidney mean? and stasis of urine in right proximal ureter?

Accepted Answer

Dilatation: Caliectasis is a dilatation of the kidneys' urine collecting tubes within the kidney itself. It can reflect some degree of obstruction, infection, or reflux of urine from the bladder to the kidney. Stasis of urine in the upper ureter has a similar list or possible causes.

Question 5

what to do if i have been diagnosed with right renal calculi with moderate hydronephrosis and proximal hydroureter?

Accepted Answer

See urologist: Should see urologist. Hydronephrosis and hydroureter can be related to calculus in ureter causing some degree of obstruction. Or there may be obstruction secondary to other causes with stone formation because of stasis in collecting system.

Question 6

i am having severe pain and i 0.7cm x 0.6cm stone in the upper proximal of the left ureter what can i do to pass it out?

Accepted Answer

Now Cranberry Juice: Drink lots of cranberry juice and water, and hot it will pass.  If not, see a Urologist for a determination of how to remove this stone.

Question 7

er doctor says i have a right ureter: obstructing calculus in the proximal right ureter measuring 3 cm-4 cm. i have had tons of pain 2 days ago, but it has eased up, but not passed yet. what should i expect next? i am waiting to hear from urologist?

Accepted Answer

: Are you sure the stone is 3-4 cm in size? A stone of that size will not pass so urologist has to take it out as soon as possible because the risk of back up urine to the right kidney (hydronephrosis) is very high. If you misheard and stone is only 3-4 mm, you will eventually pass it out. Pain eases up most of the time after several hours but it does not mean much about the progress.

Question 8

on average, how long does it take a 4x6x3 mm kidney stone to move from the proximal ureter to the uv junction?

Accepted Answer

: I have never see. Data than shows that. It will depend on if it has sharp or smooth edges and does or does not get stuck. Please discuss with your Drs who know more about the stone than I do.

Question 9

does drinking coconut water daily helps in dissolving my 7mm proximal ureter calculus?  as i don't want to go for invasive therapy

Accepted Answer

No: There is nothing you can injest that will dissollve a ureteral stone. A 7mm stone is not likely to pass spontaneously all the way to the bladder.  Shock wave lithotripsy is a non-invasive and generally effective treatment with proximal ureteral stones.

Question 10

please help me with this. should i wait for eswl. ? left intrarenal stones and milk of calcium cyst. raght proximal right ureteric stone and moderate right-sided hydronephrosis ?

Accepted Answer

: It depends on many things. Pain, obstruction, duration sizeof stone etc. From this it seems the ureteral stone ought to be treated first i. But follow your Urologists advice and ask questions. Drink lots of water. Good luck
