My scan report mentioned this word and i had no idea what it means, googled it but got more confused. Im in my second trimester. Can someone explain in simple words what it actually is?
When this was detected on my scan, I immediately got a detailed consultation with my senior gynecologist at our hospital. She explained that it's just mild fluid accumulation in the kidney due to pressure and is very common. I suggest you ask your hospital team to explain the scan report clearly so you don't keep worrying.
It is basically when urine gets backed up and causes kidney swelling, either in you because of the growing uterus pressure, or in the baby's scan. If it's maternal, sleeping on your side helps relieve the pressure. Check with your doctor on the next visit and don't take any leave or stress about it unnecessarily.
I am currently in my second trimester and my baby's scan also showed mild hydronephrosis. The doctor said we will monitor it in the next scans and it usually resolves by birth. Did anyone else's baby have this on their scan? I am feeling a bit anxious.
Honestly, pregnancy comes with so many bizarre medical terms that you feel like you need a degree. It's basically kidney swelling because the baby is literally squishing your bladder and tubes, or sometimes it's seen in the baby's scan and goes away on its own. Don't lose sleep over it, just keep drinking water and let the doctor handle it while you get some rest!
Oh, pregnancy already makes us suffer so much with vomiting and then we have to worry about these scary scan words. Hydronephrosis is basically water or urine building up in the kidney. Just drink plenty of water to avoid any infection, and trust your doctor to guide you.
Haan na, baby badhne ki wajah se mother ke kidney par thoda pressure aata hai aur swelling ho jati hai. Mere friend ko bhi scan mein dikha tha aur delivery ke baad bilkul normal ho gaya. Jada chinta mat karo, doctor jaisa bole follow karo bas.
Let's be clear, it sounds scary but it's actually just kidney swelling because of pressure or blockages. In most cases during pregnancy, it is completely physiological and goes away on its own after delivery. No need to panic, just do your regular follow-up scans.
