What are ureteral stones?

Ureteral calculi are stones that occur in the ureter.

Most ureteral calculi are caused by kidney stones falling into the ureter, and a few can also be primary ureteral calculi. Patients like to eat high protein, oxalic acid content, high calcium foods, etc., which are common factors inducing ureteral calculi. At the same time, due to the movement of stones in the ureter, patients will experience intense pain. The specific pain site is related to the location of ureteral calculi. Some patients may also be accompanied by hematuria, urinary tract irritation, etc.

It is recommended that patients receive timely treatment under the guidance of doctors. Improving diet habits and drinking more water in daily life can reduce the recurrence rate of ureteral calculi.
