About Urarchal Sinus Disorder

Urachal sinus disorder refers to a congenital condition where a remnant of the urachus, a tube connecting the fetal bladder to the umbilicus, fails to close completely after birth. This can lead to the formation of a sinus tract, which may become infected, causing pain, discharge, or recurrent urinary tract infections. The definitive treatment, typically performed by a general surgeon, is surgical excision. This procedure involves the complete removal of the urachal remnant and any associated sinus tract to prevent complications like abscess formation or, in rare cases, malignant transformation. It is a crucial intervention to resolve symptoms and eliminate the risk of future health issues related to this persistent embryonic structure.

PATIENT REVIEW

I was a total wreck before...

I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a doctor on my own and I was convinced it was something serious. Dr. Ram just listened, didn't rush me, and explained everything in a way that actually calmed me down. The hospital is huge and a bit overwhelming, but he made it feel okay. Left feeling like I could breathe again.
