What is ureteric stone, and how can it be treated without surgery? - #16888
I’ve been experiencing sharp pain in my lower abdomen and back, and after seeing a doctor, I was diagnosed with a ureteric stone. I’ve heard that these stones can cause a lot of discomfort, but I don’t fully understand how they form or what treatment options are available. What exactly is a ureteric stone, and how does it affect the urinary system? I’ve read that ureteric stones develop when minerals in the urine crystallize and form hard deposits in the urinary tract. How can I prevent ureteric stones from forming, and what are the common risk factors? I know dehydration is a factor, but are there other lifestyle changes I should be making to reduce my risk of getting stones again? I’m concerned about the possibility of needing surgery, but I’ve heard that many people are able to pass ureteric stones without surgical intervention. How long does it typically take for a stone to pass naturally? Is there anything I can do to help ease the process and relieve the pain, like drinking certain fluids or using heat pads? I also wonder if there are Ayurvedic treatments that can support kidney and urinary health. Could herbs like gokshura, punarnava, or triphala help dissolve ureteric stones or prevent new ones from forming? How do I incorporate these herbs into my diet, and what other Ayurvedic practices can support kidney and bladder health? If anyone has dealt with ureteric stones and successfully managed them without surgery, I’d love to hear your experience. What worked for you, and how long did it take to recover?
