Hydronephrosis after urinary stone fragmentation can be recovered in about 4 weeks to half a year, and the actual recovery time needs to be judged in conjunction with stone removal.
Urolithiasis is easy to form obstruction, which is also the main cause of hydronephrosis. Therefore, the recovery time of hydronephrosis is very much related to the time of stone discharge after lithotripsy. Usually, if the stone is discharged within 4 weeks after lithotripsy, the hydronephrosis will recover on its own and most of the time, there will be no recurrence.
However, if the kidney stone has not been discharged for half a year, and the fluid has been in the body for more than half a year, the condition will not disappear immediately even after the stone is discharged, but will continue to be reduced slowly for about three to half a year, until it recovers.
If there is a large amount of fluid in the kidneys, even after the stones are discharged from the body, the fluid in the kidneys will not be restored, but can only gradually reduce the amount of fluid, but there will continue to be a small amount of fluid, which is mainly due to the stone caused by the increase in kidney space, but most of them will not affect the function of the kidneys of the patient.
After urinary stone fragmentation, pay more attention to drinking water, increase the amount of urination, which will help to help the stone out of the body, but also pay attention to local hygiene, to avoid causing urinary tract infections.
