Ureterocele treatment in Cuauhtémoc

A ureterocele is a congenital condition in which the end of the ureter, the duct that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder, dilates and forms a kind of pouch near its opening. It is usually present from birth and is sometimes detected incidentally on imaging studies.

Possible symptoms: It may cause no discomfort, or it may be associated with repeated urinary tract infections, difficulty urinating, or pain in the lower abdomen.

Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the professional who studies the urinary tract and provides guidance on the follow-up of this condition.

When to seek care? If there are frequent urinary tract infections or discomfort when urinating, a professional evaluation helps clarify the cause.
