A 29-year-old primigravida was admitted to the urology ward with acute urinary retention. The patient underwent cystoscopy, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), and tissue biopsy, which consequently led to the diagnosis of bladder neck leiomyoma that obstructed urine outflow. Subsequent to a cesarean section, a successful transurethral resection was performed. Here the diagnostic complexity in the pregnant patient, clinical course, and outcome are described. One year after successful treatment both mother and daughter are in good condition.

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

Urinary Tract Calculi III: Medical Management

The diagnosis of renal calculi involves several imaging techniques, including non-contrast CT scans and ultrasound. These methods help visualize kidney stones, assess their size and location, and detect possible obstructions. Additionally, Measuring urine pH is useful for diagnosing specific stone types, such as struvite (alkaline pH) and uric acid stones (acidic pH). Cystine stones are primarily linked to cystinuria, a genetic condition. A urinalysis helps detect blood in the urine (hematuria)...
