Is it easy to discharge ureteral calculi

Whether ureteral calculi are easy to discharge cannot be generalized and is affected by many factors.

Smaller stones are relatively more likely to be discharged by themselves. Generally speaking, if the stone diameter is less than 0.6 cm, there is a greater chance of passing through the ureter. However, if the stone is larger, the difficulty of discharge will increase. Secondly, smooth, regular stones are easier to pass through the ureter, while irregular, sharp angular stones may cause ureteral damage and obstruction during discharge, thus affecting discharge. In addition, if the ureter diameter is wide and the peristaltic function is good, it will help to discharge the stones; otherwise, it will increase the difficulty of discharge.

Patients should strictly follow the doctor's advice, actively cooperate with the treatment, and pay attention to the changes in symptoms. If there is any abnormality, seek medical attention in time.
