How is hydronephrosis caused by ureteral stenosis treated?

Patient's question:

Grandpa recently feels like he can't urinate properly. The doctor said Grandpa has ureteral stenosis, and it's said to be the first time he's had this condition. I haven't understood this before. Could it be that Grandpa's ureteral stenosis has led to hydronephrosis, making it even more serious? I'd like to ask, how is hydronephrosis caused by ureteral stenosis treated?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it's best to recommend seeing a urologist. If it's caused by ureteral stenosis, some cases may even require surgery. If it's not too severe next time, you can decide to wait and see. If it's relatively severe, the urologist will decide on the best course of action based on your condition. Pay attention to preventing colds in your daily life.
