In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, as the fetus gradually develops and grows, the uterus of the pregnant woman is also stretched much larger. The rotation of the uterus to the right can cause compression of the right ureter, resulting in hydronephrosis in many pregnant women, with the right side being the most common. Moreover, during pregnancy, the peristalsis of the urinary tract is slow, which increases the risk of developing hydronephrosis. So, what should be done for a 6-month-old pregnant woman with hydronephrosis?
If a pregnant woman has hydronephrosis at 6 months of pregnancy, it should be considered based on the specific situation. If the pregnant woman's kidneys were healthy before and the occurrence of hydronephrosis after pregnancy is not severe and renal function is not significantly affected, close observation can be used to treat it. This method is relatively conservative and generally improves after delivery.
If pregnant women experience some symptoms, local treatment such as adhesion separation can also be taken, depending on the actual situation. If the symptoms of hydronephrosis become increasingly apparent and renal function continues to decline, timely surgical treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor to avoid adverse effects on oneself and the fetus.
Pregnant women with hydronephrosis may affect kidney function, so they should pay more attention in their daily lives. If they often lie on their back, it will increase the pressure on the fetus's kidneys. Therefore, pregnant women should avoid lying on their back for a long time and pay attention to a light diet, not too spicy or stimulating.
