Types of Urological Blockages

 

At Felix Hospital, we offer expert diagnosis and treatment for various types of urological blockages. Here’s a detailed overview:

1.) Urethral Strictures
Description: Narrowing of the urethra, often due to injury, infection, or inflammation, leading to difficulty in urinating.
Treatment: Includes dilation, urethrotomy, or surgical reconstruction.

 

2.) Bladder Neck Obstruction
Description: A condition where the bladder neck is obstructed, impeding urine flow from the bladder to the urethra.
Treatment: Often managed with medications, surgical procedures, or bladder neck incision.

 

3.) Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
Description: An enlarged prostate gland obstructing urine flow in men, often causing urinary frequency and urgency.
Treatment: Options include medication, minimally invasive procedures, or surgical interventions like transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).

 

4.) Kidney Stones
Description: Hard deposits of minerals and salts that form in the kidneys and can block the flow of urine through the urinary tract.
Treatment: May involve increased fluid intake, medications, or procedures such as shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) or ureteroscopy.

 

5.) Ureteropelvic Junction (UPJ) Obstruction
Description: A blockage where the ureter meets the kidney, preventing proper drainage of urine from the kidney to the bladder.
Treatment: Surgical intervention to correct the obstruction, often through pyeloplasty.
