Will slight hydronephrosis heal itself?

In general, mild hydronephrosis will not heal, and it is necessary to seek medical attention in time to clarify the cause and carry out corresponding treatment. Here are some information about mild hydronephrosis: 1. Definition: Hydronephrosis refers to the accumulation of urine caused by obstruction of the renal pelvis and ureter junction, which causes the renal pelvis and calyx to expand. According to the degree of hydronephrosis, it can be divided into mild, moderate and severe hydronephrosis. 2. Cause: The causes of mild hydronephrosis may include ureteral stones, ureteral stricture, ureteropelvic junction obstruction, neurogenic bladder, etc. Other causes may also include diseases outside the urinary system, such as retroperitoneal fibrosis, tumor compression, etc. 3. Harm: hydronephrosis can lead to renal function damage, if not treated in time, may progress to renal insufficiency or even uremia. 4. Treatment: Treatment depends on the cause and severity of hydronephrosis. Common treatments include conservative treatment and surgical treatment. Conservative treatment is mainly applied to mild hydronephrosis by relieving the cause of obstruction.(e.g. removal of stones), infection control, etc. Surgical treatment is suitable for more severe hydronephrosis or if conservative treatment fails. 5. Regular review: Even if hydronephrosis is relieved after treatment, regular review is needed to monitor kidney function and hydronephrosis. In short, for mild hydronephrosis, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time to clarify the cause and treat it according to the doctor's advice. At the same time, regular review is also very important to detect problems and take measures in time. If hydronephrosis is not treated in time, it may cause serious effects on kidney function.
