A. Hydronephrosis during pregnancy refers to the swelling of one or both kidneys due to a buildup of urine. At 32 weeks, a 17.6 mm hydronephrosis measurement suggests mild to moderate swelling, and it can occur due to pressure from the growing uterus on the urinary tract. In many cases, mild hydronephrosis is common during pregnancy, especially in the later stages, and may not cause significant problems. However, it's important to monitor the condition closely. You should continue follow-up with your healthcare provider, who may recommend regular ultrasounds to track any changes in the condition. If you experience any symptoms like pain, urinary issues, or signs of infection (fever, chills), it's important to contact your doctor immediately. They can assess whether treatment is necessary or if it's just a pregnancy-related change that will resolve after delivery.
