What are the symptoms of hydronephrosis in children?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, may I ask the doctor what are the symptoms of infant hydronephrosis? It's not good, doctor. My daughter is only two years old.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, congenital hydronephrosis in children is a common urinary system malformation. In the early stages, there are no clinical manifestations, and it is often discovered only after adulthood when stones or infections develop.
Advice: In most cases, children are found incidentally during physical examinations. Currently, surgical treatment can achieve good outcomes, with a success rate of 95% for a single operation. Follow-up ultrasound examinations are recommended. If the condition improves or remains stable, regular follow-ups are necessary. If it progressively worsens, early treatment should be initiated.
