Ureter stones, also known as renal stones, are kidney stones that have become trapped in either one or both of the ureter (the tubes which carry urine out of the kidneys into the urinary bladder). If the stone isn't large enough to actually block the urine flow, then it will just cause mild to moderate discomfort in the lower abdomen and lower back. However, if the stone is bigger than a pea, then it can become very painful and even a life-threatening situation.
Kidney stones are formed when the crystals form around the outside of the ureter
Once the crystal has reached this stage, the crystals begin to form into a hard mass that will start to squeeze the ureter. Eventually, the blockage will break away enough to allow the urine to flow freely through the ureter. As the urine flows, there will be small pockets of fluid in the urethra.
If you are experiencing some form of pain in your lower abdomen and lower back, this could be caused by stones forming in your kidneys. If you have ever had a kidney stone, then you know how difficult it is to urinate. It's not only painful but it's also uncomfortable.
One of the biggest ways that you can prevent kidney stones from forming is to make sure that you're drinking enough fluids. Drinking too much water can actually cause you to urinate more frequently, causing the formation of kidney stones. Also, don't drink soda or other soft drinks. These are known to increase the chances of having kidney stones because they contain high amounts of sugar. Sugar actually stimulates the body to form ureters.
If you suffer from kidney problems, then you may also need to make changes to your diet. Your diet should consist mainly of foods that are low in purine content. Purine content foods include meat, organ meat, shellfish eggs, and shellfish meat, and organ meats.
To help with the prevention of kidney stones, you'll want to drink plenty of water throughout the day. You'll also want to increase your potassium intake. Potassium is needed for making kidney stones less likely to form. By increasing potassium and water, you'll be helping to improve your health overall, and helping to prevent kidney stones from forming.
If you are experiencing pain when urinating, it's important that you go to see your doctor right away. A simple urine test will tell if there is a blockage in your urethra and can lead to a proper diagnosis of stones.
If you do not see any symptoms or signs, then you can use over the counter pain medication to help you with the pain. Some of these medications are called "tablets" and are usually available without a prescription, so talk to your doctor if you're worried about having some kind of side effect.
If you are able to use over the counter pain medicine and get no relief at all, then you may want to consider ureter surgery. Your doctor will be able to tell you whether you are a candidate for ureter surgery, and will give you all of the information you'll need.
Once you are able to discuss the possible treatment options with your doctor, then you can discuss them with your family.
You may decide that a hysterectomy would be the best solution for you
Hysterectomy surgery can be a permanent solution, but you will need to inform your doctor about your situation and take into account your family. If you choose to have a hysterectomy, you'll be able to urinate through the ureter.
Surgery is one of the best ways to treat the problem of urinary stones, but it's always a good idea to talk with your doctor first before deciding on this option. He or she will be able to tell you what to expect after the surgery and how long the recovery period is.
