Hydronephrosis: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

Description

Hydronephrosis is a condition where one or both kidneys swell due to a buildup of urine caused by a blockage in the urinary tract. This can lead to severe pain, changes in urination, and potential kidney damage if untreated. Common causes include kidney stones, urinary tract obstruction, enlarged prostate, pregnancy, and tumors. Symptoms range from discomfort in the lower abdomen to nausea and fever. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests like ultrasounds or CT scans, while treatment depends on the cause and severity, ranging from medication and pain management to surgical intervention. Seeking timely care at the Best Urology Hospital in Jaipur can help prevent complications and support full recovery through expert diagnostic and treatment options.
