Patient's question:
I am 25 years old this year, and I am currently 8 months pregnant. Recently, when I went to the hospital for a prenatal check-up, the doctor said that based on the images of the scan, I have hydronephrosis. I want to know what to pay attention to when a pregnant woman has hydronephrosis?Doctor's answer:
Hydronephrosis is a developmental malformation. As long as it can be absorbed during follow-up, it is not a problem. If it does not absorb during follow-up or worsens, it is abnormal, and it is necessary to consider induced abortion. It is recommended to go to a large hospital for follow-up to determine if it is a developmental malformation. If so, it should be handled by induced abortion to avoid giving birth to a child with disabilities. The kidneys are important organs in the body. If there is a developmental abnormality that affects kidney function and cannot be treated, if it still cannot be relieved or if there are symptoms such as fever and transmission, it is necessary to go to the hospital for follow-up as soon as possible.
