I have a calculus of size 8*4 mm in the left pelvic ureter, about 2.5 cm from the uv junction. is it possible to pass through urine?

Dr. Fletcher Derrick answered

Specializes in Urology

Probably: As Urologist, we say 5 mm stones on the move will likely pass. 8mm will probably need help. Your Urologist may want to try Flomax (tamsulosin) for a week or so which relaxes the muscles. If the stone does not pass in 3-4 weeks... Best for cystoscopic removal... Laser, stone basket ETC.
