Patient's question:
I have always been in good health, and my body is excellent. A few days ago, I felt unwell and after a thorough examination, I was diagnosed with kidney stones and hydronephrosis. I want to know what hydronephrosis is and if it is serious?Doctor's answer:
Hydronephrosis is a relatively common disease in internal medicine, and the causes of hydronephrosis are also very complex. If the kidneys have hydronephrosis, it means that the urine produced by the kidneys has a certain intestinal obstruction during the excretion process, which may be caused by stones or stenosis. After diagnosis, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to avoid greater harm to the body. Drinking more water and urinating more frequently, while avoiding overeating, can effectively prevent recurrent hydronephrosis, thereby preventing the recurrence of hydronephrosis.
