Ureteral Obstruction

A ureteral obstruction is a condition where an organ or disease puts pressure against the ureter and causes a blockage. This blockage interferes with the flow of urine out of the bladder, causing urine to build up, which can eventually cause damage to both the bladder and kidney. Symptoms may include severe pain, fever, nausea, difficulty or painful urination and blood in the urine, and should receive medical attention.
