Ureterocele

Description:

Ureterocele is a medical condition characterized by the swelling or bulging of the lower end of the ureter, resulting in the formation of a cyst-like pouch. It can occur either in a congenital form, present at birth, or as an acquired condition later in life. Ureterocele may cause obstruction in the bladder and urinary tract, leading to various urinary symptoms and potential complications if left untreated.

Sample sentences:

• The doctor diagnosed the patient with a ureterocele after performing a thorough examination.
• Due to the ureterocele, urine flow from the kidney to the bladder was impeded.
• He experienced frequent urinary tract infections as a result of the ureterocele.
