How to cure Hydronephrosis with Ayurveda Treatment?

Introduction to Hydronephrosis

The kidneys begin to swell when the urine gets stockpile in it, and this condition is called hydronephrosis. There can be a blockage in the kidneys that obstructs the urine flow to the bladder. This condition can take place in either one or both of the kidneys.

Normally urine flows through the urinary tract with minimum pressure, but when there is an obstruction in the urinary tract, you need to put more pressure. When the urine builds up for a prolonged time, your kidney becomes enlarged. If left untreated, this condition can push you to the edge of kidney failure.

The problem of hydronephrosis may or may not arise with the symptoms. One of the very well known signs of this problem is a pain in the sides/back, abdomen, and groin. Problems associated with urination, pain while urinating, nausea, and fever are some other symptoms of this condition. The severity of blockage of the urine and the causes of hydronephrosis decides the symptoms.
