Dr. Li Qing
The clinical manifestations of ureteral stones can be divided into acute and chronic symptoms. Acute symptoms include sudden onset of persistent mild to severe pain, located in the lumbar region, groin, abdomen, or lower limbs, accompanied by fever, nausea, vomiting, hematuria, and urinary tract infections. Chronic symptoms present as persistent mild pain or intermittent severe pain in the lumbar region, groin, abdomen, or lower limbs, along with weight loss, worsening back pain, and urinary tract infections. Patients suspected of having ureteral stones should seek timely medical evaluation at a hospital, where a physician can determine the appropriate drug treatment based on the individual condition.
