I'm 50 female, i'm suffering from stone in lower ureter of 1.1 cm. Is it possible to shrink that stone by taking medicines? And suggest any home remedies to shrink the stone.

Question

Medicines don't really shrink the stones but can attempt to push the stone down so that it passes out with urine. But there is also a high chance that it may get stuck near the bladder where the ureter is the narrowest; in that case there will be additional complications like kidney damage. So it is preferable to go for a surgical option. Given the size, it might be possible to break it up without any cuts or holes but that depends on the nature of the stone as will be evident from x-ray studies.
