How is hydronephrosis treated?

Patient's question:

My wife is 25 years old this year. A few days ago, my wife went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said that there are stones in my wife's ureter, and now my wife has hydronephrosis. I want to ask the doctor, how is hydronephrosis treated? Is there any method?

Doctor's answer:

The fundamental cause of renal hydronephrosis is based on ureteral stones. Therefore, for this condition, it is recommended to seek proper medical treatment in the urology department. It is advised to use ureteroscopy or laser lithotripsy to remove the stones. If the stones are removed, renal hydronephrosis will also improve. Otherwise, it can lead to kidney swelling and a decline in kidney function. In such cases, the condition becomes more serious.
On a daily basis, it is recommended to drink more water and exercise more. Regular follow-up checks of kidney function are also necessary.
