A member asked:

Was dx'd with double ureters as a child, just found out now, have right sided flank pain and upper right abd pain, had gb out, still pain, ureter issu?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ureter duplication: Double ureters or ureteral dupilcation does not in itself cause pain. However, you probably should be evaluated for ureteral stones, strictures, or infection. See your urologist to begin evaluation.
