Medical rehabilitation of children with hydronephrosis with concomitant neurogenic bladder dysfunction

Background. After operations on the ureter, it is important to use medical rehabilitation technologies aimed at preventing urodynamic disorders of the upper and lower urinary tract, stimulating reparative processes. In recent years, special attention has been drawn to high-intensity pulsed magnetotherapy, which has a more pronounced and long-lasting stimulating effect compared to other types of electrical stimulation. Aim: to substantiate the feasibility of including high-intensity pulsed magnetic therapy in the comprehensive medical rehabilitation of children with hydronephrosis and concomitant neurogenic bladder dysfunction. Methods. Clinical observations and special studies with the inclusion of high-intensity pulse magnetic therapy in the course of therapy were conducted in 100 children aged 4 to 15 years with hydronephrosis, a condition after surgery. Results. Medical rehabilitation with the inclusion of high-intensity pulsed magnetic therapy had a positive effect on the urodynamics of the urinary tract, renal blood flow, helped to stop inflammation in the renal parenchyma and restore the rhythm of urination in children with hydronephrosis and concomitant neurogenic bladder dysfunction. Conclusion. According to the research results, the feasibility of including high-intensity pulsed magnetic therapy in the complex of medical rehabilitation of children with hydronephrosis, concomitant neurogenic bladder dysfunction, is scientifically justified.
