Hernia of the Ureteral Orifice

A bladder orifice hernia (also known as a ureteral hernia) is one of the most common diseases of the urinary system that occurs when the bladder wall weakens. The most common form is a stress hernia (vesical urethrovaginal umbilical hernia). In this type of hernia, part of the bladder wall is weakened and periurethral fibrous tissue is usually present. This type of hernia can occur due to chronic constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, or excess weight. However, the most common cause of a bladder hernia is stress, for example when a person experiences physical strain while urinating. In addition, if the abdominal press is not sufficiently developed, then the risk of a vesical hernia also increases.

A bladder hernia can be detected using an ultrasound of the scrotum or in a gynecological office. If this is the case, medications that reduce bladder tone can be used to treat a hernia to relieve pressure on the weakened muscle. However, treatment of bladder hernias may often require surgery. In addition, other methods can be used, such as physical therapy, pelvic floor exercises and some others.

A vesical hernia is the displacement of portions of the contents of the bladder below the level of the internal opening of the bladder through a patent opening in the bladder. If a hernia occurs during or shortly after urination, the condition is usually called post-operative. After surgery, it is necessary to periodically repeat an ultrasound of the urinary organs, avoid heavy lifting and intense physical activity, drink more fluids and diuretics, follow a diet and avoid overeating.
