What Causes Severe Bilateral Hydronephrosis And Kidney Infection?

i have severe bilateral hydronephrosis and right kidney infection it was so serious that as soon as the urologist saw me i was admitted to the hospital and was treated with antibiotics and had stents put in. i do not have kidney stones the doctor says it due to an obstuction caused by my uterus. What are the long term effects of hydronephrosis will my kidneys go back to normal once they figure it what exactly is causing the obstruction. Will i have permanent damage and are there any precautions that i should be taking i know to drink lots of water but what else should i be doing. they also told me i have severe chronic cystitis and i am currently taking antibiotics. i have two small children i want to make sure that i will still be able to take care of them . is my condition serious or is something that once i get treatment for the obstruction i will go back to normal.

Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist,i can understand your concern.
The cause for the hydronephrosis can be found out,once the stents are out.
You should've written your age and what medication you're on.
Usually the stents are placed after knowing status of kidney function and cause of the hydronephrosis.You've not written reports done so far.
You'll need to do blood routine,RBS,creatinine,LFT and urine routine and culture. After that do a CT-IVU,if the kidney function is normal.
Send the reports here and an expert opinion can be given.
