Ureteral stricture disease
Ureteral stricture disease is a condition where the ureter, the tube that carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder, becomes narrowed or blocked. This can result from injury, infection, inflammation, or previous surgeries. Symptoms may include pain, urinary tract infections, and difficulty urinating. Treatment depends on the severity and location of the stricture and may involve methods like balloon dilation, stent placement, or surgical reconstruction of the ureter. In some cases, a kidney may become damaged if the blockage is left untreated, so early diagnosis and management are essential to preserve kidney function.
