Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.

usually this is caused by obstruction of ureter which can be caused by stone or some other issues such as tumors. Hydronephrosis may lead to recurrent UTIs and it should be treated promtly with obstruction removal so the cause should be established first.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
