Patient's question:
Frequent urination and urgency, and whenever I hold in urine, it hurts in the kidney area. My body is quite weak, and I don't like to be active—when I do, I feel uncomfortable all over. During a health check with my family, it was found to be hydronephrosis. This sounds quite troublesome. How is hydronephrosis treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Hydronephrosis can recur due to long-term fatigue or issues with the kidney's, such as the presence of kidney stones. The treatment for hydronephrosis is primarily anti-inflammatory, which involves reducing excess fluid in the body. It is important to rest more, and in severe cases of hydronephrosis, absolute bed rest is necessary. Treatment should also be symptomatic based on additional symptoms. The treatment for hydronephrosis typically requires more than one month.
