Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

I have gone though your history.

Drinking of plenty of water may somtimes but not always, dislodge the stone. If stone is removed, it will help in reducing hydronephrosis.

But it does not help in every case. You shoukd consult urologist/urosurgeon for detailed evaluation and treatment.

I hope it will help you.

Thanks.
