Brief Answer:
Supportive care
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
i read your question and i understand your concern. Dilated left ureter is is due to vesico ureteral junctional narrowing and your doctor followed protocols of first trying antibiotics and supportive remedies and once failed went for stenting. Now with stent, more than normal reflux occurs and that is causing recurrent UTIs. The answer to your question whether stent should be placed in an inflamed bladder, is yes . It can be and it should be placed in cases like yours. There is no doubt VUJ stents lead to such morbidities like yours disability and i am sorry for your trouble but supportive remedies , antibiotics coverage and pain relief is all doctors can offer for now.
Stay in touch with your urologist and let them decide what is best for you. I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
