Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
You had a problem with your urethra in the child hood means you have got some congenital problem regarding the urinary system. So for it is compensated, so you need not worry about the coming life, if you maintain a healthy kidney , it will be enough for the rest of the life.
In hydronephrosis, the pelvic calycix dialatation may be common.
The main thing here is the genital system, the testis, epidedymus, etc. I advise you to consult a urologist, for diagnosis.
Don't worry you will be fine but get it confirmed. Thank you.
