Questions 

1)How does the prognosis of hydro nephrosis vary based on factors such as the underlying cause and the extent of kidney damage?

2)Are there any long-term effects or complications that may arise even after successful treatment of hydro nephrosis?

3)Can congenital urethral obstructions, such as posterior urethral valves in males, lead to long-term complications or impact fertility in affected individuals? If so, what are the available treatment options?

4)In cases of urethral obstruction due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), what are the factors that influence the decision between medical management and surgical intervention?
