Diagnosis and Treatment of Urinary Tract Obstructions in Dublin, OH
A Urinary Tract Obstruction occurs when the flow of urine is blocked anywhere from the kidneys to the urethra. If left untreated, obstructions can lead to kidney damage, infection, or stone formation.

Request an AppointmentCommon Causes of Obstruction
We treat obstructions caused by various underlying conditions in both men and women:
- Kidney Stones blocking the ureter.
- Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) blocking the urethra in men.
- Strictures (scar tissue narrowing the urinary tract).
- Tumors (malignant or benign masses).
Diagnosis and Restoration of Flow
Diagnosis involves advanced imaging (CT or ultrasound) and endoscopic procedures (cystoscopy). The immediate priority is often to relieve pressure and preserve kidney function. Definitive treatment then focuses on resolving the underlying cause, whether through stone removal (lithotripsy), BPH treatment (UroLift, TURP), or surgical repair of a stricture.
