  1. PUJ Obstruction in Children: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options in Jaipur Pelviureteric Junction (PUJ) Obstruction is a condition that impacts the movement of urine from the kidney to the ureter. Accumulation of urine within the kidney may result in pain, infection, or residual kidney damage in the long term in children. However, when treatment is required, specialist pediatric urologic services in Jaipur can provide prompt and accurate diagnosis and management.

  2. What Causes PUJ Obstruction in Children? PUJ obstruction in children is primarily a congenital condition, meaning it is present at birth. It occurs due to a narrowing or kink at the junction of the kidney and ureter, which blocks the smooth passage of urine. In rare cases, it can be acquired later due to scarring from infections, kidney stones, or trauma. Typical Symptoms to Monitor While some children with PUJ obstruction may remain asymptomatic, others may display noticeable signs such as: ● Pain in the flank and/or abdomen ● Repeated urinary tract infections (UTIs) ● Nausea or vomiting ●Hematuria (blood in the urine) ● A palpable mass in the abdomen in severe cases Often, PUJ obstruction is detected during routine prenatal ultrasounds or investigations for other urinary concerns.

  3. Diagnosis and Treatment in Jaipur Advanced pediatric urology clinics in Jaipur now utilise modern imaging techniques such as ultrasound, diuretic renography (DTPA scan), and MRI urograms to ensure precise diagnosis. Among these, ultrasound and diuretic renography are especially effective in diagnosing PUJ obstruction in children. Depending on the severity, the treatment may involve regular monitoring or surgical intervention like pyeloplasty, a minimally invasive procedure to correct the blockage. Final Thoughts Thanks to modern diagnostic tools and experienced specialists, managing PUJ obstruction in children has become more streamlined in Jaipur. Pediatric urologists in the city offer both non- invasive monitoring and surgical treatment, ensuring the best outcomes and long-term kidney health for young patients.
