Hello,
With the question “How to treat grade 2 water ureteral stones? ", the doctor answered as follows:
5mm ureteral stones, 50-70% can be discharged within 1 month without surgical intervention. However, in the case of a close friend with grade 2 fluid retention, it means that the stone has been stuck in the ureter for a long time > 1 month, so the possibility of the stone passing on its own is very low and there is a risk of kidney failure if you wait. internally medical treatment. Therefore, you need to see a doctor early for endoscopic lithotripsy.
If you still have questions about the treatment of grade 2 hydronephrosis ureteral stones, you can go to a medical facility of Vinmec Health System for early examination and treatment. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
