About Congenital primary megaureter, refluxing and obstructed form

What is Congenital primary megaureter, refluxing and obstructed form?

Congenital primary megaureter, refluxing and obstructed form is a rare condition in which the ureter (the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder) is abnormally enlarged and the urine flow is blocked. The urine can also flow back up the ureter, a condition known as reflux. This condition can cause pain, infection, and kidney damage if left untreated. Treatment typically involves surgery to correct the blockage and to prevent further damage.

What are the symptoms of Congenital primary megaureter, refluxing and obstructed form?

The symptoms of Congenital primary megaureter, refluxing and obstructed form may include:

-Pain in the lower abdomen or flank
-Frequent and/or painful urination
-Urinary tract infections
-Enlarged kidneys
-Blood in the urine
-Fever
-Vomiting
-Loss of appetite
-Failure to thrive in infants

What are the causes of Congenital primary megaureter, refluxing and obstructed form?

The causes of Congenital primary megaureter, refluxing and obstructed form are not fully understood. However, some potential causes include:

1. Abnormalities in the development of the ureter during fetal development.

2. Abnormalities in the structure of the ureter, such as a narrowing or blockage.

3. Abnormalities in the muscles of the bladder or ureter.

4. Abnormalities in the nerves that control the bladder or ureter.

5. Genetic factors.

6. Infections during pregnancy.

7. Exposure to certain medications or toxins during pregnancy.

What are the treatments for Congenital primary megaureter, refluxing and obstructed form?

The treatments for Congenital primary megaureter, refluxing and obstructed form depend on the severity of the condition. Generally, the treatments may include:

1. Antibiotics: Antibiotics may be prescribed to treat any infection in the urinary tract.

2. Surgery: Surgery may be necessary to correct the obstruction or to repair the ureter.

3. Ureteral stent: A ureteral stent may be placed to help keep the ureter open and allow urine to flow more freely.

4. Bladder training: Bladder training may be recommended to help the bladder hold more urine and reduce the risk of infection.

5. Medications: Medications may be prescribed to help relax the bladder and reduce the risk of infection.

6. Dietary changes:

What are the risk factors for Congenital primary megaureter, refluxing and obstructed form?

1. Family history of the condition
2. Maternal diabetes
3. Maternal urinary tract infection
4. Maternal use of certain medications during pregnancy
5. Low birth weight
6. Premature birth
7. Abnormalities of the urinary tract
8. Abnormalities of the kidneys
9. Abnormalities of the bladder
10. Abnormalities of the ureters

Is there a cure/medications for Congenital primary megaureter, refluxing and obstructed form?

Yes, there are treatments available for both the refluxing and obstructed forms of congenital primary megaureter. Treatment for the refluxing form typically involves antibiotics to prevent urinary tract infections, and surgery to correct the refluxing ureter. Treatment for the obstructed form typically involves surgery to open the ureter and allow urine to flow freely. In some cases, a stent may be placed to keep the ureter open.
