Patient's question:
Today Dad went to the hospital for a thorough physical examination. The doctor said Dad has hydronephrosis. I'd like to ask what symptoms are shown by hydronephrosis?Doctor's answer:
The most obvious symptom of hydronephrosis is body swelling. Hydronephrosis is primarily caused by kidney stones, urinary tract infections, or other kidney diseases that lead to difficulty urinating. This can cause fluid to accumulate in the body, resulting in swelling in the legs or feet. During a color Doppler ultrasound, bilateral renal pelvis fusion may also be detected, indicating the possibility of hydronephrosis.In addition, patients should develop a regular lifestyle, adhere to treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in aerobic exercise to boost their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
