Can a 9mm stone in my right urinary tube cause lower waist pain, difficulty starting to urinate, a loss of the normal urge to pee, and erectile dysfunction, and what should my next steps be for treatment?
Yes, a 9mm stone in your ureter can definitely cause lower waist pain, difficulty urinating, and changes in your urinary urge due to blockage and irritation. While erectile dysfunction isn't a direct physical result of the stone, the intense pain and stress can certainly contribute to it. Because a 9mm stone is relatively large, it is highly recommended to see a urologist promptly. They can discuss treatments like lithotripsy or medications like tamsulosin to help clear the stone. Please seek immediate emergency care if you develop a fever, chills, or cannot urinate at all.
