Distal UVJ (ureterovesical junction) calculus refers to a stone located at the junction where the ureter meets the bladder. It can obstruct the urinary flow, leading to symptoms such as flank pain, hematuria, and urinary urgency or frequency. The presence of such a stone can cause complications like hydronephrosis if not treated. Treatment options typically include pain management, hydration, and possibly procedures like ureteroscopy or lithotripsy to remove the stone.
