If a pregnant woman develops mild hydronephrosis, specific treatment is generally unnecessary. It is recommended that she maintain a positive mood and engage in regular outdoor activities to boost her immune system. However, if hydronephrosis is more severe, the pregnant woman should seek medical evaluation and treatment at a hospital. Additionally, adjusting sleeping posture may help alleviate symptoms of hydronephrosis. Regarding diet, it is advisable to consume nutrient-rich foods such as lean meat, milk, eggs, and soy products.
