Ureter Conditions

The ureter is a tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder. Conditions such as ureteral strictures, ureteropelvic junction obstruction, and ureteral injuries can cause blockages, leading to kidney problems and urinary tract infections. Treatment options include the insertion of a catheter, a stent, or surgery to alleviate the obstruction and prevent further complications. Understanding these conditions and their treatments is important for maintaining kidney health.
