Ask the nurses Ureteral obstruction

Ureteral obstruction

Offline Mary. over 2 years ago

I think, from memory, I read in a doctor's letter that I have this, caused by something putting pressure on the kidney.

The last few days sometimes, when I have wanted to do a wee, nothing much has happened. Could this be due to the ureteral obstruction?

Hello, and thanks for your post,

The symptoms that you are having may be a result of your urethral obstruction but it is difficult for me to comment and to be sure as to what the letter has said.

If you feel that your symptoms have got worse then do get in touch with your GP and let them know. it is important that you are able to wee and if you are not then you need to let your doctor know.

If you are unable to get hold of your GP and you can't pass urine then do ring NHS111 for advice. Have a look here

I hope this helps.

All the best,

Catherine

Thank you. I am being seen by a GP on the 22nd so, if this is still happening, I shall mention it then.
