Question 1

So, I'm a bit worried about my 7-month-old son. He's got hydronephrosis in his left kidney and there's this PUJ obstruction. The doctor is saying he might need surgery. I'm just wondering, how can we tell if this is getting worse? Should we consider going ahead with the surgery or is there a chance it might get better on its own if we wait a bit?

Accepted Answer

To monitor the progression of your son's hydronephrosis with PUJ obstruction, your doctor may recommend regular ultrasound scans (every 3-6 months) to assess kidney function, drainage, and signs of deterioration; additionally, nuclear medicine studies like MAG3 or DMSA scans may be performed to evaluate kidney function and obstruction; surgery is often recommended for PUJ obstruction to prevent long-term kidney damage, but the timing depends on the severity of the obstruction, kidney function, and your child's overall health

Question 3

I've been using Himalaya Confido tablets twice a day like you suggested, and I'm just wondering, will these actually help with increasing the size?
