Megaureter

Megaureters are developmental anomalies of the urinary tract, characterized by an excessive number and/or tortuosity of the ureters and a violation of their drainage function. Megaureters may be unilateral or bilateral, and they may appear as early as infancy or much later, when the person may or may not have other manifestations of urolithiasis. Complications of megaureter are frequent urinary infections, ureterohydronephrosis, pyelonephritis, nephrolithiasis, sclerosis of the bladder neck or scrotum, as well as episodes of ureterolithiasis, epididymitis or peritonitis in children who have already reached adulthood. Treatment of megaureters begins with a consultation with a urologist. Early diagnosis and conservative treatment can help prevent complications from developing. If complications of megaureter become serious, surgery may be required.

With this disease, not only the bladder is affected, but also the urinary duct itself, through which urine leaves the body. This condition requires immediate treatment as it can lead to serious complications.
