Ureteric Meatotomy Treatment in India

Aadya Shah, a 42-year-old software project manager and mother of two, had been experiencing a frustrating and painful urinary issue for over a year. Her history included recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), but a new, sharp pain at the very end of urination and a consistently weak, spraying stream became her new normal. After her fourth UTI in six months, her GP referred her to a urologist. A cystoscopy revealed a tight, narrow opening at the end of her left ureter (ureterocele), explaining the blockage and infections. The urologist recommended a ureteric meatotomy, explaining it as a minor procedure to widen that opening and allow proper drainage. Aadya was nervous but desperate for relief. The procedure was done under general anesthesia. She woke up with a stent in place and some burning with urination for the first 24 hours, which was managed with medication. The stent was removed a week later in a quick office visit. Within a month, her urinary stream was strong and direct, and she has been infection-free for six months. Emotionally, she went from feeling chronically unwell and anxious about the next infection to feeling liberated and back in control of her health and busy life.
