Ureteric Stone
also known as a ureteral stone, is a small, solid mass that forms in the ureter, the narrow tube connecting the kidneys to the bladder. These stones are typically composed of minerals like calcium or uric acid and can obstruct the flow of urine, causing severe pain, often radiating from the lower back to the lower abdomen. Symptoms may include hematuria (blood in the urine) and urinary urgency. Treatment options range from pain management and increased fluid intake to medical procedures like ureteroscopy, shockwave lithotripsy, or surgical removal to alleviate the blockage and ease discomfort.
