Patient's question:
Last year during my health check-up, the doctor told me I had kidney stones. Recently, I was diagnosed with hydronephrosis. I want to know if kidney stones can cause hydronephrosis?Doctor's answer:
After getting kidney stones, a health check-up revealed kidney hydronephrosis, which can be actively treated. Generally, after treating the stones, the hydronephrosis will significantly decrease or improve. If you have kidney stones, you can take lithotripsy drugs under the guidance of a doctor, drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, clean the urethra, and engage in activities like jumping to promote the excretion of stones. If the stones are relatively large, you can also consider extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.
