Flank pain or frequent infections? PUJ obstruction could be the reason.

The pelvic ureteric junction (PUJ) is where the kidney connects to the ureter, the tube that carries urine to the bladder. Sometimes, this area can become narrow, leading to PUJ obstruction.

Who is affected?
• Most cases are congenital (present from birth).
• Secondary PUJ obstruction can occur due to stones, infections, or other conditions.

Common symptoms:
• Flank pain (pain in the back/side of the abdomen) due to urine buildup.
• Urinary infections, fever, or inflammation.
• Blood in urine in some cases.
• Some patients may remain asymptomatic.

Diagnosis:
• Ultrasound (can sometimes detect the condition even before birth).
• CT Scan or DTPA renal scan to confirm the obstruction.

Treatment options:
• Observation in mild cases, especially in children, if kidney function is normal.
• Surgery (Pyeloplasty) if symptoms are significant or kidney function is affected.
- Can be done via open, laparoscopic, or robotic surgery.
• Success rate: 98–99%!

PUJ obstruction, when detected early, has excellent outcomes, and proper care ensures kidney health is preserved. ✅

This Diwali, celebrate health and happiness together!✨

The festive season is all about travel, sweets, and celebration, but your body deserves some care too. Here are a few simple Diwali health tips from your doctor:

🔹 Stay Hydrated:
During travel or busy festive days, people often forget to drink enough water. Dehydration increases the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and kidney stones. Aim for 2.5–3 litres of water daily.

🔹 Take Regular P*e Breaks:
When traveling long distances, make it a rule to stop every 2 hours for a restroom break. Holding urine for too long can irritate your bladder and lead to infections.

🔹 Stretch During Flights:
If you’re flying long hours, stand up, walk, or stretch every 1–2 hours. Sitting too long can affect blood circulation and increase the risk of leg clots.

Wishing you a bright, healthy, and joyful Diwali, may your celebrations sparkle and your body stay well!

Prostate surgery doesn’t always mean losing your comfort or confidence.

If you’re around 50, sexually active, and have been advised prostate surgery, it’s important to know your choices.

Today, minimally invasive surgical therapies (MIST) offer effective results with faster recovery and fewer side effects.
Here are some modern techniques your urologist may discuss:
🔹 REZUM (Steam Therapy): Uses water v***r to destroy enlarged tissue and restore urine flow.
🔹 UroLift: A special implant lifts and holds prostate lobes apart for easier urination.
🔹 iTind Device: A temporary implant that gently opens the urethra to improve flow.
🔹 Prostate Artery Embolization: Reduces prostate size by blocking specific blood vessels.

These options are particularly helpful for younger, sexually active men or high-risk patients where anesthesia may pose challenges.

Talk to your urologist about which treatment suits you best, comfort, safety, and recovery can go hand in hand.

Is your child experiencing frequent fevers and recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)?
Recurrent UTIs in children are often more than just infections — they can be a sign of an underlying structural or functional problem in the urinary tract.

Some surgically correctable causes include:
🔹 Phimosis – when the fo****in cannot be retracted easily
🔹 Meatal stenosis – narrowing of the urinary opening
🔹 Hypospadias – abnormal position of the urinary opening
🔹 Pelviureteric junction (PUJ) obstruction – blockage where the kidney meets the ureter

In addition to these, functional issues like bowel–bladder dysfunction can also lead to poor bladder emptying and increase the risk of repeated infections.

If your child experiences frequent fevers, painful urination, or recurring UTIs, it’s important to consult a urologist for proper evaluation and management. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent long-term kidney complications.

In our video series to understanding prostate health, it’s time to talk about treatment options!

For mild to moderate cases, medications like alpha-blockers and other drugs help relax muscles in the lower urinary tract, improving urine flow and relieving symptoms.

However, when symptoms become severe, surgical interventions might be necessary. The most common procedures include:

✅ TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) – The gold standard worldwide
✅ Holmium Laser Enucleation (HoLEP) – A minimally invasive laser-based approach
✅ Other advanced procedures tailored to individual cases

Each surgical option has its own advantages and limitations, making it crucial to consult an experienced urologist who can guide you toward the best choice for your health. 🩺👨‍⚕️
