Does a ureteral stone get cured on its own?
Patient: hello. yesterday i had a sonography. result hydronephrosis and hydroureter. the Doctor who done my sonography he said 3.5 mm stone in my ureter, will it pass by own.. currently i am feling no problem in passing of urine and drinking loads of water.. Doctor: Hello, Stones less than 4mm usually pass by itself. As of now drink plenty of water as it will help to flush the stone away. If symptoms persist or in case of obstruction, surgical removal of the stone may be needed. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
