The : The symptoms you have described could be a sign of a urinary tract infection (UTI) or possibly a kidney infection (pyelonephritis).

Question 5

severe right side pain undet rib down into groin. nausea. bloating.  kidney infection 1 week ago.  neg urine wed.  please help?

Accepted Answer

Seek help.: Severe pain is always a worrisome symptom, especially if it doesn't leave. Kidney stone pain is typically colicky, severe, can be back or abdomen, and radiates into the groin. For pain control, urgent care of ER tonight. Otherwise, schedule to see dr tomorrow if possible. Try straining all urine with computer paper taped into a funnel with no opening at the point to trap any sand or stone.

Question 6

is a uti and kidney infection signs of endo? they are both gone now but i'm still constantly hurting in the pelvis. i had a partial hysterectomy at 24

Accepted Answer

Endometritis: There are changes associated with this condition that may predispose to UTI as a complication, but endometritis does not cause UTIs. See your gynecologist.

Question 7

i recovered from a kidney infection 3 weeks ago.last week an ultrasound showed a mildly dilated right renal pelvis.what does it mean?dr said its fine?

Accepted Answer

Probably normal: Ultrasound images of kidneys are often described with the terms "mildly" this or that. In fact, renal anatomy varies widely and many kidneys naturally have a pelvis (collecting system of the kidney that may extend outside of the kidney) that is simply more generous (translation, mildly dilated) than those of other kidneys. Don't worry unless you end up with other infections.

Question 8

i have severe pain in my lower back and i am late for my period however i am not pregnant but did consult a doc 2 weeks back and he said i have a kidney infection. can this cause sever pain in my lower back / pelvis?

Accepted Answer

UTI lower back pain: Lower back and pelvic pain is completely possible due to urinary tract infections.  Your kidneys are located in the lower back region.  The ureters drain the urine down to the bladder that sits in the lower pelvis.  Severe infections of any of these organs will cause pain along that pathway.

Question 9

what could feel like kidney infection but isnt? dull, burning like pain in left back side under ribs and above butt. urine was positive but culture was negative for uti. been going on two weeks. normal ct of pelvis/abs and norm vaginal ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It may be musculoskeletal pain. Try regular aerobic exercise. Raising core body temperature through exercise will improve strength and flexibility of muscles. Drink enough water so your urine is mostly colorless.  Wish you good health!

Question 10

how can i cure a kidney infection?

Accepted Answer

Suitable antibiotics: U need 2c doctor who will send urine culture to identify bacteria causing infection ; which antibiotic will be effective to kill the bacteria. In mean time start u on a broad spectrum antibiotic like Cipro (ciprofloxacin) or Bactrim for 2 weeks whilst awaiting urine culture result ; chnage antibiotic if necessary. Macrodantin shouldn't be used (poor tissue penetration). Drink lots of water ; get lots of rest.
