Patient's question:
I previously had trauma to my ureter. During the day, urination was relatively manageable, but at night, it became extremely difficult to urinate, and I couldn't pass urine at all. Additionally, I now have severe edema in my lower limbs. So, I would like to ask the doctor what are the main symptoms of ureteral stenosis and hydronephrosis?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it is essential to have periodic follow-up renal ultrasound scans to monitor the condition of hydronephrosis. If it worsens significantly, it may lead to further deterioration of kidney function. It is also recommended to monitor changes in renal function. Hydronephrosis can be caused by various factors. If it is due to ureteral stenosis, active treatment is necessary. If it is caused by kidney stones, the stones should be treated. In terms of diet, it is advised to follow a light diet and avoid foods. Additionally, it is encouraged to drink more water and urinate more frequently.
