Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i suggest you get it removed urgently.
You've tried conservative treatment for 1 month, without success.
Hydronephrosis affects functioning of kidney,lowering it with time.
Endoscopic treatment is a routine surgery,without any pain.
Continue to drink 12-15 glasses liquids daily,to prevent a recurrence.
You may send any doubts to me, as a direct question,for an expert opinion.
