Best Hospital for Hydronephrosis Treatment and Surgery near Vicharnag, Srinagar

What is Hydronephrosis?

Hydronephrosis is a condition in which one or both kidneys become swollen due to a build-up of urine caused by a blockage or reduced urine flow in the urinary tract. When urine cannot drain properly from the kidney to the bladder, pressure builds up inside the kidney, which can affect its normal function. Hydronephrosis may occur at any age and can result from conditions such as kidney stones, urinary tract obstruction, an enlarged prostate, congenital abnormalities, or pregnancy. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are important to relieve the obstruction, protect kidney function, and prevent long-term complications.

Causes and Conditions We Treat for Hydronephrosis

At Paras Health, our specialists diagnose and treat hydronephrosis caused by:

• Kidney stones
• Ureteric stones
• Ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction
• Enlarged prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)
• Urinary tract strictures
• Congenital urinary tract abnormalities
• Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)
• Urinary tract tumours
• Pregnancy-related hydronephrosis
• Neurogenic bladder and other urinary drainage disorders

Each patient receives a personalised treatment plan based on the cause, severity of obstruction, kidney function, age, and overall health.

Symptoms That May Require Hydronephrosis Treatment

You should seek medical evaluation if you experience:

• Severe pain in the side or lower back
• Flank pain that comes and goes
• Pain during urination
• Blood in the urine
• Frequent or urgent urination
• Difficulty passing urine
• Fever with urinary symptoms
• Nausea or vomiting associated with severe pain
• Recurrent urinary tract infections
• Reduced urine output

Some patients may have no symptoms, making timely diagnosis through imaging especially important.

Types of Hydronephrosis Treatments We Provide

At Paras Health, treatment is tailored to the underlying cause and severity of the condition and may include -

1. Medical Management - Antibiotics, pain relief medications, and supportive treatment for urinary tract infections and mild hydronephrosis while monitoring kidney function.

2. Ureteral Stent Placement - A minimally invasive procedure in which a small tube is placed inside the ureter to restore urine flow from the kidney to the bladder.

3. Percutaneous Nephrostomy - Placement of a drainage tube directly into the kidney to relieve severe obstruction when immediate drainage is required.

4. Kidney Stone Treatment - Advanced minimally invasive procedures such as ureteroscopy, laser lithotripsy, or percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) to remove stones causing urinary blockage.

5. Pyeloplasty - Surgical correction of ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction to restore normal urine flow from the kidney.

6. Reconstructive Urological Surgery - Surgery to repair ureteric strictures, congenital abnormalities, or other structural causes of urinary obstruction.

7. Robotic and Laparoscopic Surgery - Minimally invasive surgical techniques for selected patients, offering smaller incisions, reduced pain, and faster recovery where clinically appropriate.

Timely diagnosis and treatment offer several advantages:

• Relieves urinary obstruction
