Specializes in Urology

See the Urologist: Hydronephrosis of Pregnancy is common. On the Rt side more common. Possible stone. Ultrasound could help. You may have to have a stent if pain too severe. Try to hold out if you can. Later have Urology check for little known Rt ovarian syndrome. Which can cause this Rt side only hydro. This may require surgery later if you plan more babies. Check on syndrome. We wrote about it years ago.
