Generally speaking, whether the upper ureteral calculi can be crushed in vitro depends on the specific conditions of the disease. If the upper ureteral calculi are small in volume and large in quantity, extracorporeal lithotripsy can be chosen at this time.

Can upper ureteral calculi be discharged in a few days?
Upper ureteral calculi can be discharged, so how many days can upper ureteral calculi be discharged?
It may take 7 days or 15 days for upper ureteral calculi to be discharged, which usually needs to be judged according to the size of calculi. If the stone is large, it may take longer to be discharged. Ureteral calculi are usually caused by kidney calculi blocking the ureter stricture during the discharge process, which generally leads to renal colic, hematuria, lumbago colic, dysuria, hematuria and other symptoms. If the stone is large, it must be treated with extracorporeal lithotripsy or lithotomy in time.
The operation of upper ureteral calculi is also divided into two different forms. One is traditional surgery, which will cause great trauma to the body. The other is a new type of minimally invasive surgery, which has less trauma to the body and can restore health in a short time.

How to treat upper ureteral calculi?
There are some methods to treat upper ureteral calculi. How to treat upper ureteral calculi?
The upper ureteral calculus is less than 6 mm, and its surface is smooth and round, and there is no stricture and obstruction in the distal ureter of the calculus. We can consider this conservative treatment. The measures are as follows: 2000~3000 ml of water every day, day and night balance; Exercise more, even jump rope if you can bear it; You can eat Paishi granules; You can eat α receptor tissue agents to dilate ureteral smooth muscle, such as tamsulosin hydrochloride capsules.
Some upper ureteral stones were formed by kidney calculi's fall, but this kind of abdominal pain or low back pain never happened. That is to say, this ureteral stone has stayed in this part for a long time, and this stone has been attached to this ureteral mucosa and even wrapped by polyps. For these patients, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is definitely not effective, so direct surgery and ureteroscopic lithotripsy should be considered.
How to do upper ureteral calculi with hydronephrosis?
Ureteral stones may be accompanied by other symptoms. How to do upper ureteral calculi with hydronephrosis?
Upper ureteral calculi with hydronephrosis can be operated, and the surgical treatment of ureteral calculi with hydronephrosis generally adopts three surgical schemes, including nephrolithotomy, percutaneous nephrolithotomy and nephrectomy. Among them, the main indications for nephrectomy are obviously decreased renal function and aggravated hydronephrosis. Patients need to follow the doctor's advice on which surgical plan to adopt.
Usually, if it is a simple upper ureteral stone, it will cause hydronephrosis in the early stage. As long as the obstruction is removed, the renal function can be completely normal, and hydronephrosis will be eliminated immediately. It is mainly caused by obstruction, so all of them need surgical treatment, and they need to go to urology for specific follow-up and then do related treatment. In general, the early treatment of upper ureteral calculi with hydronephrosis is effective.
