How do you treat a stricture of the left ureter?

Answer 1

I do not believe this question can be answered without much more information. Has the tube actually narrowed, or is there an obstruction like a kidney stone? How do you know this is the problem, and what have you been told? What are the symptoms? Is there anything unusual about your diet? Had any drugs, surgeries, or major injuries?

There are tonics to improve the function of the bladder and kidneys, but it is unwise to ignore any potential underlying problems. For now, I suggest drinking lots of lemonade and cranberry juice. You might want to try some licorice extract, which can be found at a health food store. I do not want to say anymore before I have more information. Stay away from calcium for now.

Ureter, the etwa 25-30 cm long tube (in adults), arises from the renal pelvis, from which peristaltic waves force the urine into it. There are two ureters, as each kidney has its own tube. These two ureters convey urine from the kidneys to the bladder. Their diameter are relatively small, about 3 mm. Occationally, stone(s) form in the renal pelvis, and depending on the size, it might stack in the ureter, blocking urine's flow, and causing pain. If the stone is able to pass (by peristalsis), the pain of it stretching the ureter's wall, still could be felt.
