Symptoms Of Hydronephrosis

Problems With Urination

Hydronephrosis causes problems with urination, including incomplete evacuation, incontinence, or pain while urinating. The inability to empty the bladder directly causes a back up of urine in the bladder and reflux of urine into the kidney. Incontinence means the individual cannot control the leakage of urine from the bladder. This can be exacerbated by strenuous exercise, coughing, sneezing, laughing, or typical daily activities. Pads can be worn to prevent bladder leakage from coming through the clothes. Another problem with urinating includes pain while voiding the bladder, which can sometimes mimic a urinary tract infection. Without proper voiding of the bladder, individuals may always feel the need to use the toilet, which can interrupt sleep and daily tasks.
