    A new hypothesis suggests uterine prolapse can cause bilateral hydroureteronephrosis by entrapping ureters against the uterus. Specialized urography views are recommended for diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Radiology
    • Gynecology

    Background:

    • Uterine prolapse is a common condition affecting women's pelvic health.
    • Bilateral hydroureteronephrosis, a serious complication, requires understanding its underlying causes.
    • Existing hypotheses for hydroureteronephrosis in uterine prolapse may not fully explain all cases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a novel hypothesis for the pathogenesis of bilateral hydroureteronephrosis in advanced uterine prolapse.
    • To identify optimal imaging techniques for diagnosing this condition.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of six women with advanced uterine prolapse.
    • Examination using drip infusion urography (DIU).
    • Evaluation of imaging protocols and patient positioning.

    Main Results:

    • A new hypothesis posits ureteral entrapment by the hiatus genitalis against the uterine fundus as the cause of bilateral hydroureteronephrosis.
    • Recommended DIU protocol includes extended lower abdominal imaging and upright views.
    • The 'hourglass' bladder appearance, indicative of prolapse, is crucial for diagnosis.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed hypothesis offers a new perspective on the mechanism of bilateral hydroureteronephrosis in uterine prolapse.
    • Modified DIU techniques, including specific patient positioning, are essential for accurate diagnosis.
    • This understanding can improve clinical management and patient outcomes.
