What is the cause of hydronephrosis in women?

The most common causes of hydronephrosis in women are kidney stones, ureteral stenosis, and renal malformations. Physiological hydronephrosis may occur during pregnancy. During treatment, a targeted treatment plan needs to be developed based on the specific cause. In most cases, surgery is required to restore urinary tract patency and relieve hydronephrosis. To prevent complications, such as hydronephrosis caused by ureteral stenosis, local stent placement is required for treatment. Hydronephrosis caused by kidney stones needs to be treated by shock wave lithotripsy or surgical stone removal.

Symptoms of hydronephrosis in women

The main cause of hydronephrosis in women is due to the influence of gynecological diseases. The main clinical manifestations are hematuria, nausea, vomiting and rapid weight loss. Hydronephrosis can easily cause complications such as kidney stones, renal insufficiency, and renal atrophy. When hydronephrosis is low, you can pay attention to diet maintenance, such as eating a light diet, reducing spicy and irritating foods, and try to eat liquid food during treatment. After controlling the disease, increase vitamin intake, supplement the nutrients needed by the body, especially increase foods rich in dietary fiber. If hydronephrosis is low, you can exercise appropriately to increase body function and body resistance.

What should women do if they have hydronephrosis?

Hydronephrosis in women is not uncommon clinically. It is necessary to assess the severity of hydronephrosis and clarify the cause of hydronephrosis. For example, hydronephrosis caused by kidney stones is mainly treated. Stones can be removed by oral stone-removing granules or extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy or surgery. In this way, kidney stones will also be relieved and renal damage can be prevented. If hydronephrosis is caused by ureteral stenosis, the treatment mainly requires local placement of stents through surgery to expand the ureter, and hydronephrosis will also be relieved. Pay attention to regular follow-up in the hospital, monitor changes in the condition, and prevent renal damage.
