Hi,
Bilateral mild hydronephrosis means mild swelling in both of your kidneys. This can be a normal finding with full bladder. This needs to be checked again after you pass urine. If it does not settle after passing urine, another cause could be the large fibroid causing mild obstruction in both ureters (the tubes connecting kidneys with bladder). In this case, the ureters will also be swollen (called as hydroureteronephrosis).
You need to check your kidney function using serum creatinine level. If it is confirmed that uterus is causing obstruction, your Gynecologist may advise a hysterectomy (removal of uterus).
Please get back to me with your age, serum creatinine, and repeat ultrasonogram looking for the features I have explained.
Wish you good health,
Warm regards,
