Question 1

I had my kidney stent removed a month ago, but Im still feeling some pain on my side abdomen and lower back pretty frequently. Is this normal after the procedure, or could it be a sign of another issue? Could really use some guidance on this.

Accepted Answer

It is not uncommon to experience some pain in the side abdomen and back after a kidney stent removal procedure. However, if the pain is persistent or severe, it could be a sign of a urinary tract infection or kidney stone. I recommend taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, drink plenty of water to help flush out any potential kidney stones. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Question 2

Hi Doctor, I have 5mm kidney stones on both sides and Im looking for treatment options that dont involve taking tablets. Is there any non-medication treatment that could help with this?

Accepted Answer

Most stones that cause renal colic are small and pass out with the urine in a day or so. You should drink plenty of fluids to encourage a good flow of urine. Strong painkillers are often needed to ease the painuntil you pass the stone. No other treatment is usually needed.

Question 3

Hi doctor, Ive been having fever for the past 5 days, with temperatures ranging from 102 to 103.4, and a constant unbearable headache at the back of my head. I recently did a urine test that showed 25-30 RBC per HPF. Im wondering if the fever is caus...

Accepted Answer

Could indicate a possible urinary tract infection (UTI) or kidney infection. The fever is likely not directly caused by the RBC in your urine, but rather both symptoms may be due to an underlying infection. Since your symptoms are persisting and the fever returns when the effect of the medicine wears off, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. If the current treatment is not providing adequate relief, your doctor may need to reassess your condition and consider adjusting your medication regimen or ordering additional tests. It is crucial to complete the prescribed course of antibiotics and continue taking the medications as directed until you receive further guidance from your healthcare provider. In the meantime, make sure to stay well-hydrated, get plenty of rest, and monitor your symptoms closely. If your fever persists or worsens, seek medical attention promptly.

Question 4

When I ejaculate, I feel a burning sensation and a weird feeling inside my penis. Some days it's fine, but it keeps feeling off for a while after. Is this something I should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

When you experience a burning sensation inside your penis after ejaculation, it could be due to inflammation or infection in the urinary tract or prostate. I recommend you to take a course of antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin to treat any possible infection. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen for pain relief and to reduce inflammation. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out any bacteria. If the symptoms persist, it is important to consult a doctor before starting any new medication.

Question 5

Hi Doctor, Ive been noticing albumin in my urine for about a month now, with levels ranging between 1+ to 2+. Recently, the albumin level dropped to less than 1++. Sometimes, it still shows 1+ or 2+. Could this indicate a problem with my kidneys or u...

Accepted Answer

This can be a sign of kidney damage or dysfunction. To help reduce the albumin in your urine and protect your kidneys, you can take medications such as ACE inhibitors like Enalapril 10mg once daily or ARBs like Losartan. It is important to also follow a low-salt diet and stay hydrated. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is recommended to monitor your kidney function.
