VUJ Stone 5.7 mm
Hello, My wife has 5.7 mm stone stuck in ureter at left VUJ. This was first diagonsed three months back and We have tried many medicines(homepathic as well) but still it is there. In past she has very strong pain 2-3 due to which we had to visit hospital a few times. Now our urologist is saying that it needs URS, But evrybody in my family is saying dont go for surgery as it would also invole pain due to stent & also many complications could be there.

If the stone is there for 3 months than definitely it's indicationn of URS
Bcoz prolonged presence and obstruction can have harmful effects on kidney
Stent causes some discomfort but can be managed with medication
Benefits more than harm
So get it removed
Follow urologist advice
