Understanding Ureteral Stones: Causes, Symptoms & Diagnosis

Ureteral stones are mineral-based deposits that form in the kidney and travel down to the ureter, the thin tube that connects the kidney to the bladder. These stones can obstruct urine flow, causing pain, infection, and even long-term kidney damage if left untreated.

Common Causes

  • Dehydration 
  • High intake of oxalate-rich foods 
  • Excessive calcium or uric acid in urine 
  • Family history of stones 
  • Metabolic disorders 

Symptoms of Ureteral Stones

  • Severe, sharp pain in the lower back or side 
  • Nausea and vomiting 
  • Blood in urine (hematuria) 
  • Frequent and painful urination 
  • Fever and chills (if infection is present)
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, seeking prompt kidney stone symptoms diagnosis and ureteral stone removal is essential to prevent complications.

Diagnostic Methods at Urosonic

We utilize advanced imaging techniques such as:
  • Digital X-rays 
  • CT scans 
  • Ultrasound diagnostics 
This allows us to accurately locate stones, assess their size, and determine the most effective stone removal method for your condition.

Our Advanced Ureteral Stone Removal Treatments

At Urosonic, our treatment philosophy revolves around precision, minimal discomfort, and fast recovery. Depending on the size, location, and nature of the stone, we offer several effective techniques for ureteral stone removal:

1. Ureteroscopy (URS)

This minimally invasive procedure involves inserting a thin scope into the urethra and bladder to access the ureter and visualize the stone directly. A laser or tiny instrument is then used to break the stone or extract it. Benefits:
  • No incisions 
  • High success rate for medium-sized stones 
  • Fast recovery 
  • Safe and effective even for lower ureteral stones 

2. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL)

Ideal for certain upper ureteral stones, ESWL uses focused shock waves from outside the body to break the stone into fragments, which are then passed naturally. Why ESWL at Urosonic?
  • Performed with high-precision lithotripters 
  • Completely non-invasive 
  • Outpatient procedure with minimal downtime 

3. Laser Lithotripsy

For stubborn or larger stones, laser lithotripsy via ureteroscopy is a precise and powerful option. This method uses high-energy laser pulses to break stones into passable fragments.

4. Stent Placement

In some cases, we may place a temporary stent in the ureter to relieve obstruction and promote healing before or after ureteral stone removal.

The Urosonic Advantage: Renal Stone Treatment and Beyond

While ureteral stone removal is a major focus, Urosonic also provides comprehensive renal stone treatment for stones located in the kidney itself. By addressing both ureteral and renal stone conditions with expertise and advanced technology, we offer holistic urological care.

Our Comprehensive Renal Stone Treatment Includes:

  • ESWL for renal stones 
  • PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) in rare large stone cases (via referral) 
  • Preventive consultation to avoid recurrence

Personalized Care Every Step of the Way

From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll notice the Urosonic difference. We pride ourselves on a patient-first philosophy rooted in:

  • Comprehensive consultation: We take the time to understand your symptoms, history, and lifestyle

  • Tailored treatment plan: Based on your specific stone size, location, and preferences

  • Ongoing communication: Regular updates, support, and guidance throughout your care

  • Post-procedure support: Follow-ups and advice for prevention of future stones

What Makes Us Stand Out?

1. Experience and Expertise

Our urologists are highly trained in ureteral stone removal and have conducted hundreds of successful procedures with outstanding patient outcomes.

2. Non-Invasive Focus

Whenever possible, we use non-invasive or minimally invasive techniques to ensure comfort and fast recovery.

3. Technology-Driven

We invest in advanced lithotripters and endoscopic tools to increase treatment precision and reduce risk.

4. Patient-Centric Philosophy

At Urosonic, we believe your health journey should be empowering, not overwhelming. That’s why we emphasize comfort, respect, and clear communication.

5. Transparent and Affordable Pricing

Our pricing models are fair, clear, and inclusive—without hidden fees or unexpected charges.

Who Should Consider Ureteral Stone Removal?

  • If your stone is causing significant pain or blockage

  • If non-surgical methods (hydration, medication) haven’t worked

  • If the stone size exceeds 5mm

  • If your stone is causing urinary infections or blood in urine

Delaying ureteral stone removal can lead to more serious complications like urinary tract infections, kidney damage, or sepsis. That’s why early intervention is key.

After your procedure, our team remains committed to helping you stay stone-free with:

  • Customized diet plans to reduce recurrence

  • Metabolic evaluation for recurrent stone formers

  • Hydration and supplement advice

FAQs

Q1. What is the best treatment option for ureteral stones?

The best treatment depends on the size and location of the stone. Small stones may pass naturally, but larger ones often require ureteroscopy or ESWL. Urosonic offers both options after thorough evaluation.

Q2. Is ureteral stone removal painful?

With modern anesthesia and minimally invasive techniques, discomfort is minimal. Most patients return to daily activities within 24–48 hours.

Q3. How long does the procedure take?

Most ureteral stone removal procedures take 30 to 60 minutes and are conducted on an outpatient basis.

Q4. Can stones return after removal?

Yes, they can recur. That’s why Urosonic offers preventive guidance, metabolic testing, and renal stone treatment support to minimize recurrence.

Q5. What is the recovery time?

Most patients recover within a few days. Depending on the method (e.g., ESWL or URS), you may resume work and regular activities in 1–3 days.
