Urinary Tract Obstruction
Urinary Tract Obstruction occurs when there is a blockage in the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. This obstruction can be caused by various factors such as kidney stones, tumors, or enlarged prostate. Symptoms may include pain, difficulty urinating, or frequent urinary infections.
If left untreated, urinary tract obstruction can lead to serious complications, including kidney damage or infection. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests like ultrasound or CT scans to identify the location and cause of the blockage. Treatment options may include medication, catheterization, or surgery to relieve the obstruction.
