What is a good treatment for ureter calculi exept sugery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Medical.: For stones in the ureter, certain medications can be given to help pass the stone. This is called medical expulsive therapy. Studies have shown some advantage to taking medications called alpha-blockers, such as tamsulosin (flomax) to relax ureteral smooth muscle and pass the stone. Anti-inflammatory medications, such as Ibuprofen or keterolac, may also help prevent the need for a procedure.
