Patient's question:
I feel pain in the right kidney area, and it has been going on for 2 days. Especially, my lower back aches very much, and the right kidney area always has a dull pain. Sometimes I feel as if I have a hernia. I want to know what could be causing the pain in my right kidney.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is commonly seen in kidney infections, hydronephrosis, kidney tumors, kidney tuberculosis, and other diseases, or due to kidney stones, blood clots, and necrotic tissue (due to inflammation, tumors) leading to ureteral obstruction, which causes ureteral smooth muscle spasm and increased renal pelvic pressure. You can perform routine ultrasound and urine analysis of the kidneys to rule out kidney stones and check for the presence of urinary tract infections. Wishing you good health.
