How should left kidney hydronephrosis be treated?

Patient's question:

Recently, I found that my left waist is in severe pain, and when I go to the toilet, I have the symptom of incomplete urination. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it's a problem with the kidneys, possibly left kidney hydronephrosis. I would like to ask how left kidney hydronephrosis should be treated and how it can be fully cured.

Doctor's answer:

If unilateral lower back pain recurs, and if there are symptoms of frequent urination and urgency, this situation is considered to be due to urinary tract stones or urinary tract infections. In this case, it is recommended to first undergo a thorough urinalysis and color Doppler ultrasound of the urinary system for confirmation. If it is a urinary tract stone, treatment options include oral medication, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, or surgical stone removal. If it is a urinary tract infection, active anti-inflammatory treatment is sufficient. Drink more water in daily life to promote the excretion of bacteria.
