Patient's question:
I recently had a thorough check-up, and the doctor told me that my fetus's hydronephrosis has exceeded 19 millimeters. I don't know what this means. Is fetal hydronephrosis of 19 millimeters serious?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, it's not a particularly serious problem, but we need to thoroughly investigate the cause of this issue. Otherwise, as it develops further, we may find it becoming increasingly severe. Therefore, my suggestion is to still go to the hospital for a more detailed and thorough examination. This way, we can treat the problem specifically and start treatment early, leading to a faster recovery.
