Patient's question:
Doctor, my girlfriend has hydronephrosis, and it hasn't improved after three months. What should we do? She previously had a sudden high fever, chills, which lasted for several days, followed by an abdominal lump and swelling in her calves. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was diagnosed as hydronephrosis. She was treated for over a month, but it didn't get better. Now it's been three months, and we're at a loss.Doctor's answer:
The patient is currently experiencing recurrent hydronephrosis again. It is considered that this recurrence may be due to kidney problems, making it impossible to rule out kidney stones, which could potentially lead to this condition. It is recommended to first identify the cause of the hydronephrosis. If the cause of the hydronephrosis is clear, it is suggested to improve the examination and perform etiological intervention to stabilize the condition of hydronephrosis. If there is fever, this situation is considered serious and requires a clear blood test.
