Six months of hydronephrosis should be based on the etiology of the obstruction to choose the appropriate method to release the obstruction and reduce renal damage. Such as extracorporeal lithotripsy, surgery, etc.
Hydronephrosis refers to the increase in intrarenal pressure due to the obstruction of urine drainage, resulting in dilatation of the renal pelvis and calyces, atrophy of the renal parenchyma, and reduced function. The causes of hydronephrosis include urinary stones, urinary tumors, etc. The obstruction can be relieved by extracorporeal lithotripsy and surgery.
1. Patients with urinary stones can be treated by extracorporeal lithotripsy or laser lithotripsy due to the blockage of stones in the ureter, which forms obstruction, thus causing the symptoms of hydronephrosis.
2. Urinary tumor may also cause hydronephrosis, the tumor causes blockage in the urinary system, thus causing hydronephrosis, and appropriate treatment can be chosen according to the specific conditions of the tumor, such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and so on.
Patients with hydronephrosis should improve their dietary habits, take reasonable rest and exercise, go to regular hospitals in time, have regular checkups, and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
