Ureteric stones often cause severe urinary symptoms that should not be ignored. Patients may experience intense flank or lower abdominal pain, burning sensation during urination, difficulty or pain while passing urine, frequent urge to urinate, or blood in urine (hematuria). In more severe cases, complete blockage of urine flow can occur, which requires urgent medical attention. Early recognition of these symptoms is essential for timely diagnosis and effective management.
Accurate diagnosis of ureteric stones involves a detailed medical evaluation, including physical examination and diagnostic tests such as urine analysis, ultrasound, X-ray KUB, or CT scan to identify the location, size, and number of stones. Treatment depends on the size and location of the stone and may include medications to relieve pain, facilitate stone passage, minimally invasive procedures like ureteroscopy, or lithotripsy. With timely medical care, most ureteric stones can be effectively managed, reducing pain, restoring normal urinary function, and preventing complications.
Ureteric stones, which may cause severe pain, difficulty in urination, burning sensation, or blood in urine, require timely and specialized care. At Kahalekar Urology Care – Ayurvedic Urology Specialist in Nanded, Dr. Sunil Kahalekar provides personalized and effective treatment for patients suffering from ureteric stones using advanced diagnostic evaluation and holistic Ayurvedic management.
Focusing on identifying the root cause, promoting natural healing, and ensuring safe stone passage, Dr. Sunil Kahalekar delivers comprehensive care that is both result-oriented and minimally invasive whenever possible. Patients in Nanded and surrounding areas receive safe, affordable, and long-term relief from the pain and urinary complications associated with ureteric stones.
Patients with ureteric stones may experience noticeable urinary and abdominal symptoms that should not be ignored. Common symptoms include:
Severe flank or lower back pain that may radiate to the groin
Difficulty in urination or frequent urge to urinate
Burning sensation or pain during urination
Blood in urine (hematuria)
Nausea or vomiting in some cases due to severe pain
Other signs may include interrupted or weak urine flow and a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying if the stone partially blocks the ureter. In more severe cases, complete blockage can occur, leading to urinary retention and risk of kidney damage. Early recognition of these symptoms is crucial for timely diagnosis, safe stone management, and prevention of complications.
Ureteric stones form due to a variety of factors affecting the urinary tract, often related to mineral deposits, metabolic issues, or anatomical conditions. Common causes include:
Dehydration & Low Fluid Intake: Insufficient water intake can concentrate urine, leading to stone formation.
High Mineral Levels: Excess calcium, oxalate, uric acid, or cystine in the urine can precipitate as stones.
Dietary Factors: Diets high in salt, sugar, and animal protein may increase the risk of stone formation.
Urinary Tract Obstructions: Structural issues like ureter narrowing or congenital anomalies can promote stone retention.
Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections (UTI): Infections can change urine pH and facilitate stone formation.
Metabolic & Hormonal Disorders: Conditions like hyperparathyroidism or gout can increase stone risk.
Family History: A genetic predisposition may increase the likelihood of developing stones.
Understanding the underlying cause is essential for proper treatment, stone prevention, and to avoid complications like hydronephrosis or kidney damage.
Accurate diagnosis is essential to determine the size, location, and severity of a ureteric stone and to guide effective treatment. At Kahalekar Urology Care – Ayurvedic Urology Specialist in Nanded, both modern diagnostic techniques and Ayurvedic evaluation methods are used to provide a comprehensive and patient-centered approach.
Physical Examination:
Assessment of abdominal and flank tenderness to identify signs of ureteric obstruction or renal colic.
Urine Tests:
Urinalysis and urine culture to detect blood (hematuria), infection, or crystal deposits.
Imaging Tests:
Ultrasound, X-ray KUB (Kidney, Ureter, Bladder), or CT scan to accurately locate the stone and assess its size and obstruction level.
Blood Tests:
Evaluation of kidney function, uric acid levels, calcium levels, and detection of metabolic abnormalities.
Stone Analysis (if passed):
Laboratory examination of the passed stone to determine its composition for prevention planning.
Detailed Patient History (Prakriti & Dosha Assessment):
Evaluation of dietary habits, water intake, lifestyle, and body constitution to identify imbalances contributing to stone formation.
Pulse & Physical Examination (Nadi Pariksha & Sparsh):
Assessment of Vata, Pitta, or Kapha imbalance affecting urinary flow and stone formation.
Observation of Urine (Mutra Pariksha):
Examination of urine color, frequency, and consistency to guide Ayurvedic management.

मूत्रवाहिनीत खडा म्हणजे किडनीमध्ये तयार झालेला खडा मूत्रवाहिनीत (Ureter) अडकणे. यामुळे तीव्र वेदना, लघवी करताना जळजळ, लघवीमध्ये रक्त येणे किंवा लघवीचा अडथळा निर्माण होऊ शकतो. खडा लहान असल्यास तो नैसर्गिकरित्या बाहेर पडू शकतो, परंतु मोठा खडा असल्यास तीव्र वेदना व मूत्रमार्गात अडथळा निर्माण होऊ शकतो.
ही समस्या प्रामुख्याने पाण्याचे कमी सेवन, शरीरातील कॅल्शियम/युरिक अॅसिड वाढ, चुकीचा आहार, किंवा वारंवार होणारा मूत्रसंक्रमण यामुळे उद्भवू शकते. वेळेवर योग्य तपासणी आणि उपचार घेतल्यास किडनीचे नुकसान टाळता येते आणि भविष्यात खडे होण्याचा धोका कमी करता येतो.
यूरेटर स्टोन वह स्थिति है जिसमें किडनी में बना हुआ पत्थर मूत्रवाहिनी (Ureter) में फंस जाता है। इससे तेज कमर या पेट के निचले हिस्से में दर्द, पेशाब करते समय जलन, पेशाब में खून आना या पेशाब रुकने जैसी समस्या हो सकती है। छोटे पत्थर प्राकृतिक रूप से निकल सकते हैं, लेकिन बड़े पत्थर गंभीर दर्द और अवरोध पैदा कर सकते हैं।
यह समस्या प्रायः कम पानी पीने, शरीर में कैल्शियम या यूरिक एसिड की अधिकता, गलत खानपान, या बार-बार होने वाले संक्रमण के कारण होती है। समय पर सही जांच और उपचार लेने से किडनी को नुकसान से बचाया जा सकता है और भविष्य में पत्थरी दोबारा बनने से रोका जा सकता है।
