Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Two weeks back, I had pain in my left groin area, which became severe one to two hours later. I also noticed my urine getting reddish. I had the urge to pee, but I could not pee much. So I had to go ten times to pee, and every time it was reddish. After one hour, when I went to the toilet, I could clear my bladder completely, and the pain vanished right away, and the urine color also became white. The same things happened yesterday as well. Should I go for an ultrasound of my bladder? What other test should I go for? Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read the query, and I can understand your concern.

I suggest you get a urine routine and microscopy and urine culture done. Also, get a USG KUB (ultrasonography of the kidney, ureters, and bladder) done. We need to rule out urine infection and stones in the kidney tube.

I hope this will help you.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

I got USG (ultrasonography) of the entire abdomen, tested for urine routine and magnification, and urine culture (attachment removed to protect the patient’s identity). Both of the tests were negative. The USG report shows one stone of four to five mm in both kidneys. The right kidney is in normal shape, size, and echogenicity with normal CM (corticomedullary) differentiation. No hydronephrosis. No solid or cystic mass. Two calculi were seen at the lower pole of size four to five mm. The echogenic focus of size 0.15 inch in the middle pole. The left kidney is normal in shape, size, and echogenicity, with normal CM differentiation and no hydronephrosis. No solid or cystic mass is seen. The echogenic focus of size 0.22 inch in the lower pole. The impression of the report was bilateral renal calculi.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have read the query, and I can understand your concern.

The right kidney has two small stones, so there may have been a small stone in the right kidney tube. Take plenty of fluids. Ask your doctor to prescribe Aceclofenac and Drotaverine in combination with Tamsulosin and Potassium citrate syrup for five days. It should pass. If not already passed and pain persists, a CT (computed tomography) scan may be needed.

I hope this will help you.

Thank you.
