If your child’s ureterocele is mild and not causing problems, your doctor may suggest watching it closely with regular check-ups. This is called a “wait and see” approach.
Your doctor may use ultrasounds or other tests to check the kidneys and ureterocele over time. You’ll be asked to tell your doctor if your child has signs like urinary infections, pain, or trouble peeing.
If the ureterocele starts causing problems like infections or kidney damage, the doctor will talk to you about treatment options.
This chapter contains general information about congenital malformations of the urinary tract. If you have any specific questions you should consult your doctor or other professional healthcare provider. No website or leaflet can replace a personal conversation with your doctor.
