Mild hydronephrosis of the right kidney in pregnant women: two aspects to understand

If hydronephrosis occurs during pregnancy, it will affect the development of the fetus and also affect the renal function of the pregnant woman. Therefore, hydronephrosis during pregnancy must be treated promptly. The severity of hydronephrosis can be reduced by lying on your back, and secondly, medical treatment should be sought.

1. Fetal compression during pregnancy is a common cause of hydronephrosis in women. You should know that no matter how big a woman's belly is, its capacity is limited. The fetus inside will inevitably compress the woman's kidneys. Mild hydronephrosis is common during normal pregnancy, often occurring on the right side. This type of hydronephrosis is a physiological state that will disappear after delivery.

2. Once symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, back pain, abdominal distension, fever, vomiting, or even hematuria occur, urinary tract infection, pyelonephritis and other urinary tract diseases may have occurred. You should immediately go to a regular hospital for systematic treatment to avoid miscarriage, premature birth, intrauterine fetal death, etc. After the symptoms are relieved, blood pressure should still be measured regularly, urine routine, blood routine, liver and kidney function tests should be performed, fetal growth and development should be assessed, and the patient should be admitted to the hospital one month before the due date.
