The disease of ureteric stone is common these days in India. The ureteric stones resemble kidney stones. Some stones easily pass from the kidney. In some cases, the kidney stones get clogged in the ureter which creates dull aches that begin in the lower back portion and extends to the groin.

The stones in the ureter do not let urine flow properly. The factors associated with ureteric stones are high intake of calcium, lack of water intake and excessive amount of salt.

Symptoms of ureteric stones:

  • Dull ache in the upper portion of the back.
  • Blood traces are found in the urine.
  • Light-headedness and vomiting.
  • Fever or chills.
  • Burning sensation while urinating.

The ureteric stone is diagnosed with the help of the tests similar to that of the kidney stones like ultrasound, X-Rays and a few blood tests as well.
