Dr. Li Mingchuan
Left upper ureteral stones are primarily caused by left kidney stones falling into the ureter, resulting in stone formation in the upper segment of the left ureter. It is also possible that patients with pre-existing ureteral strictures may develop secondary stones due to long-term ureteral dilation and fluid accumulation. When suffering from left upper ureteral stones, it is recommended to seek timely medical treatment at a hospital and follow the guidance of a qualified physician.
