Hydronephrosis refers to the swelling of a kidney or both kidneys that generally occurs due to urine build-up. It occurs when urine can not drain from the bladder due to a blockage or obstruction. This condition is generally caused by kidney stones, cancer, an enlarged prostate, urinary stricture, blood clots, and some other factors.
The symptoms of this condition can vary. Some patients experience its symptoms, while others don’t experience any symptoms at all. Some symptoms associated with this condition include pain during urination, frequent urination, incomplete urination, urinary incontinence, nausea, fever, and so on. The symptoms generally differ based on how severe the obstruction is.
