Patient's question:
I always feel weak all over, especially with lower back pain. The right kidney area has been (yǐnyǐn zuòtòng) ( means a dull, intermittent pain) all the time, sometimes it feels like a hernia, and even breathing hurts. I have poor sleep at night and can't turn over. I've lost a lot of weight, and tried many methods, but none of them have relieved the symptoms. What could be causing the pain in the right kidney area?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition is renal area pain, a dull and uncomfortable ache. Renal area pain is a common symptom in urology, which can manifest as dull pain, colicky pain, hidden pain, or severe pain. It refers to pain in the area corresponding to the kidneys. Inflammation, stones, cysts, abscesses, or tumors can all cause this condition. Additionally, trauma can also lead to renal area pain. It is necessary to complete relevant tests, such as urinalysis, renal function tests, CT scans, and urological imaging tests, to confirm the diagnosis. Active treatment should be administered targeting the underlying cause.
