Sai Chopra, a 28-year-old software engineer,...
Sai Chopra, a 28-year-old software engineer, had always been active and healthy. For the past two years, she experienced recurring, severe pain in her right flank, often mistaken for menstrual cramps or a stubborn UTI. Multiple rounds of antibiotics provided no lasting relief. The pain became debilitating during long workdays, and she started noticing occasional blood in her urine. A CT urogram finally revealed the culprit: a congenital unilateral ureterocele on her right side, causing a partial blockage and recurrent infections. Her urologist, Dr. Evans, explained that the balloon-like swelling at the end of her ureter was acting like a flap, trapping urine and creating a breeding ground for bacteria. He recommended a minimally invasive transurethral incision to open the ureterocele and restore normal urine flow. Anxious about surgery but desperate for relief, Sai underwent the outpatient cystoscopic procedure. The recovery was swift; she went home the same day with a temporary stent and some discomfort. Within a week, the stent was removed. The constant flank pain vanished. The emotional burden of unexplained, chronic pain lifted. Sai felt a profound sense of relief and regained control over her life, returning to her hikes and work with renewed energy, no longer living in fear of the next painful episode.
