My left kidney has a blockage near the ureter, and doctors think it might be endometriosis, but they can't pinpoint the exact cause. We're still trying to figure out the final diagnosis before surgery. Is surgery the only option for this kind of blockage? I'd really appreciate some clarity on what else could be done.
