Ureteral smooth muscle relaxants have the effect of relaxing smooth muscles, reducing pain in patients with ureteral stones to help the stone move easily out. The following article tells us when using ureteral smooth muscle relaxants.

Among the current treatments for ureteral stones, laser lithotripsy is one of the most advanced treatments. This method offers hope for a thorough treatment of ureteral stones, is non-invasive, can crush large stones, and does not damage the ureter.

Ectopic ureter is a congenital disease that greatly affects the psychology and quality of life of the patient. The disease is often detected late because the symptoms are not specific, easily confused with the normal state of the child.

Ectopic ureter is a rare congenital disease but is often detected late, causing patients to live with the uncomfortable symptoms of the disease for a long time, seriously affecting daily activities and reducing quality of life.

Vesicoureteral reflux syndrome in children can easily cause urinary tract infections (UTIs). If not detected and treated early, the disease can lead to the risk of kidney failure.

The backward flow of urine from the bladder to the kidneys is called vesicoureteral reflux, which is often associated with infection, hydronephrosis, and kidney abnormalities (renal atrophy). If vesicoureteral reflux is not diagnosed and treated early, the patient may develop infection and kidney failure. Early diagnosis of vesicoureteral reflux is the main goal of monitoring and treatment.

Vesicoureteral reflux is commonly diagnosed in infants and young children. It increases the risk of urinary tract infections, which can lead to kidney damage if not detected and treated promptly.

The urinary system has the role of filtering and removing waste from the body. Regular urinary system examination is needed to promptly detect diseases and have appropriate treatment methods.

Treatment methods for ureteral stenosis often have the disadvantage of a high risk of recurrence. In cases of recurrent ureteral stenosis, reoperation with endoscopic stent placement is required.

Currently, the method of ureteral stricture reconstruction is receiving much attention and is being applied by hospitals. There are many methods of ureteral reconstruction that can endoscopically dilate the narrowed segment and then connect the two ureteral segments together, or connect the ureter directly to the kidney or to the bladder.

A stent is a hollow, flexible plastic tube that is specially designed to be placed in the ureter. The ureter is the natural tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder. The length of stents used in adult patients varies from 24 to 30 cm. Ureteral stenting is a new and effective method for treating recurrent urethral strictures.
