Patient's question:
Is hydronephrosis serious? My grandfather has had urinary urgency for two months. Today, after a thorough examination, it was found that he has hydronephrosis, and a catheter was inserted. The doctor said to take a week of medication first and see if it improves, then hospitalize if it doesn't. I am very worried. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hydronephrosis is primarily caused by obstruction of the urinary tract, and this condition often leads to the swelling of the kidneys, resulting in increased kidney function. If this disease is not treated properly, it can lead to uremia. There are many treatment methods for male diseases, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment methods also differ. Therefore, patients need to have timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to ensure targeted treatment.
