Contact doctor: Presumably you have a doctor who told you of the kidney stone. S/He should be able to also examine you and do tests to see if you have UTI, bacterial vaginosis, or both. Or see a gynecologist. Be aware that STDs are more common in women with BV, and STDs can cause UTI-like symptoms, so STD testing also may be wise.
