Can a pregnant woman with hydronephrosis give birth naturally?

Hydronephrosis in pregnant women can cause great harm to them, especially in the late stages of pregnancy. If hydronephrosis occurs at this time, it is necessary to check it out in time to see if it will cause adverse effects on the fetus. Generally speaking, natural delivery at this time is not conducive, mainly because of hydronephrosis. If a natural delivery is performed at this time, it may increase the burden on the pregnant woman's kidneys and cause greater harm. Let's take a look at this aspect.

Can a pregnant woman with hydronephrosis give birth naturally?

If it is a normal delivery, the symptoms may worsen because the kidney function is relatively poor. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for a timely surgical delivery to avoid prolonged course of the disease. If hydronephrosis occurs, you should check whether it is due to kidney factors itself or caused by ureteral compression. If it is the latter, it is safer to give birth as soon as possible.

What to do if a pregnant woman has bilateral hydronephrosis

1. What to do if a pregnant woman has bilateral hydronephrosis

Pregnant women are in the childbearing period, and at this time they may develop hydronephrosis due to oppression. If the hydronephrosis does not exceed 1cm, it is usually considered a normal physiological phenomenon. If it exceeds, you need to go to the hospital for treatment.

The choice should be made based on the cause of the disease, and also to determine whether the pain relief treatment can be maintained. If the pain recurs and is unbearable, ordinary drug treatment will be difficult to maintain. If the situation is too bad or the cause is complicated, percutaneous nephrostomy can be performed to drain the kidney first; for severe hydronephrosis or pyonephrosis, nephrectomy can be performed if the contralateral kidney function is good; for those who cannot undergo surgical resection, double "T" tubes or stents can be placed.

If hydronephrosis during pregnancy is a physiological change, most of the time no special treatment is needed, but you should pay close attention to changes in your body. If it is pathological, you should immediately go to a regular hospital for systematic treatment to avoid miscarriage, premature birth, intrauterine fetal death, etc.

2. How to prevent hydronephrosis in pregnant women

Generally speaking, if a pregnant woman has hydronephrosis, she must have a good mentality during the pregnancy period, because studies have shown that the mood of the pregnant woman can directly affect the healthy development of the fetus. Therefore, she must maintain a good mood, not be impatient or lose her temper, and she can listen to light music to soothe her mood.

You also need to pay attention to your diet. Don't eat too spicy or sour food, and don't eat food containing pigments. It is best to eat light food, which is also very helpful for the development of the fetus.
