Found a 76 mm HU 984 stone in my upper ureter causing mild hydroureteronephrosis and some fat stranding near the pelvic ureteric junction. Wondering if this can be treated with meds or if surgery is needed?

View allI'm really starting to worry about this sharp pain in my lower left abdomen that spreads towards my groin. The ultrasound showed a 5.9 mm stone in my left mid ureter, around the L5S1 level, and there's some mild hydronephrosis in my left kidney with the upper ureter being dilated. A urologist suggested urgent ureteroscopy, but I decided to try some home remedies instead. After about ten days, I had another ultrasound and it seems like the stone is now in the lower ureter just below where the iliac vessels cross, but there's still mild hydronephrosis and this proximal hydroureter situation going on. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible and would prefer to try medication. Is that a viable option, or should I prepare for the ureteroscopy?

For mild varicoceles with minimal pain, surgery is often not necessary and management without surgery is usually possible. However, a healthcare provider should evaluate the situation to determine the best course of action, as individual circumstances and potential complications vary.
