Hi Anonymous,
Thank you for your question and for finding EmpowHER. Hydronephrosis is a serious condition that requires medical care. It is an indication that another condition is present (such as kidney stones). If experiencing pain, it is important to go back to the doctor and ask for further care, and ensure that another problem hasn't onset, such as infection or a more serious condition. If you are not confident working with the current doctor, you may want to get in with a different doctor that specializes in urology.
