During an 18-year period, 28 adults with ureterocele were admitted to hospital with uncertain urological or abdominal symptoms. All of the ureteroceles were treated with transurethral diathermy incision. At follow-up examination after a mean observation time of 7 years, 16 of 20 patients were free from symptoms and the other 4 had only minor loin pain or dysuria. Significant vesico-ureteric reflux or depression of the renal filtration rate did not develop in any case. It is concluded that simple transurethral incision is adequate for treatment of small or medium-sized ureteroceles in adults.

Fifteen patients with the loin pain and haematuria syndrome (LPH) were compared with 10 patients with complicated renal stone disease referred to the same tertiary centre and matched for age, sex and duration of illness. LPH patients had a history of three times more medically unexplained somatic symptoms other than loin pain (p < 0.01) and a higher proportion took analgesics regularly (p < 0.01). The onset of pain was associated with an adverse psychologically important life-event in eight of the LPH patients but in none of the controls (p < 0.02). LPH patients more frequently recalled serious parental illness and disability in childhood (p < 0.001) than controls, and a higher proportion felt responsible for causing or alleviating parental illness or distress (p < 0.05). LPH subjects scored higher in the 'paternal care' dimension of the Parental Bonding Instrument (p < 0.05). No difference was found between LPH patients and controls in terms of current depression and anxiety but both groups exhibited high rates of lifetime depression. LPH patients expressed lower levels of anger and hostility (p < 0.002) than did controls. Our observations suggest that psychological factors are of major importance in the aetiology of LPH, which may represent a type of somatoform pain disorder.

Loin pain hematuria is characterized by chronic loin pain, hematuria, and dysuria. There are no known effective treatments for loin pain hematuria and longer term use of analgesics and surgical options are often ineffective or associated with negative side effects. This article reports on a 17-year-old female patient diagnosed with loin pain hematuria who presented with unilateral, uncontrolled loin pain following numerous unsuccessful attempts at controlling her symptoms with traditional medical interventions, including antibiotics, opioids, and renal denervation. The patient received 8 sessions of hypnotherapy. Baseline, endpoint, and follow-up measures administered included the General Health Questionnaire, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, McGill Pain Questionnaire, Pain Discomfort Scale, and visual analogue measures of pain, academic interference, and social interference. At follow-up, results indicated clinically significant decreases in pain, anxiety, and depression with nearly complete remission of presenting symptoms.
