Patient's question:
For the past half month, I've been feeling severe pain and discomfort in my lower back, making it impossible to do physical labor. Urinating has also been particularly uncomfortable. On the right side of my lower abdomen, pain is often unbearable. This morning, I had an ultrasound done at the hospital, and the detailed results just came out. It shows hydronephrosis with upper ureteral dilation. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the most common cause of hydronephrosis with upper ureteral extension in the right kidney is usually due to kidney stones. Additionally, there may be symptoms of lower back pain. It is also important to pay close attention to the symptoms of urethral irritation, such as frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria. If these infectious symptoms are present, additional antiviral treatment and the use of some spasmolytic drugs may be recommended. It is advised to follow up with a urologist in your local area.
