Home treatments for hydronephrosis with no pain at 11 weeks pregnant?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Need more info: Is hydronephrosis (hn) new since onset of pregnancy? How severe is the hn? Hn during pregnancy is quite common due to combination of estrogen effect & enlarged urerus which can obstruct ureters. Settles down on its own after pregnancy, most cases. Symptomatic hn during pregnancy requires intervention, by a urologist or an interventionist, to decompress obstructed kidney/s. Discuss with your OB dr.

No treatment: No treatment needed. Hydronephrosis of pregnancy is common and requires no treatment in the absence of symptoms. As with most urinary tract disorders, maintaining a dilute urine by good water drinking will decrease risks of infection and stones.
