Given the size of the ureteric calculus (7mm) and the presence of hydronephrosis, surgery is likely the better option for your situation. While a 3mm concretion in the lower calyx may be managed medically, the 7mm stone in the ureter and the associated hydronephrosis suggest a need for more definitive treatment.
