Duplex Kidney
by mogwai0, Sep 14, 2009 05:36AM
When I was very young I had repeated severe kidney infections. It took doctors a little while to figure out the cause, I have a duplex kidney system on the right with double ureters. They told my mom I have one ureter inside the other which is apparently very rare. They didn't give my mom very much information, whether I had and reflux or any other concerns other than telling her I have a lot of scar tissue from the infections. I was on antibiotics for a long time, I don't remember how long because I was young.
I didn't have any problems for awhile, when I was around 15 I occasionally got some pain. I'm 95% sure I get kidney stones and it always seems to be on the right side. Or maybe it's something else with the exact symptoms of stones. I get that kind of pain about once a year.
On a daily basis though, I have discomfort now. I just turned 21. It's been gradual and I only started to really think about it recently. If I have to pee, the urge comes on suddenly and if I don't get to a bathroom ASAP, I'll be in pain and nearly pee my pants. It's often for a small amount of urine as well. I've had some tests over the years to check for infection but there never seems to be one.
Last week I had to hold my pee for a few minutes and it resulted in intense pain, it lasted for almost 10 minutes. Since then, I've noticed more discomfort/pain in the area of the right kidney/down towards my crotch. I went to the walk in clinic to discuss it but the doctor didn't have time to be thorough, they just sent me off for some tests-I don't even know what. I gathered from the illegible writing on the sheet that one is for creatinine.
Well..I don't know where to go from here. It's been about 5 days since I had the tests done (though it is a weekend) and haven't gotten a call about any abnormal results. What should I do know? What could the problem be? Anything I should avoid? Is there a way I could know if I have relux (symptoms?) I already avoid caffeine because I find this exacerbates my problems and make sure to drink plenty of water. Any information that isn't medical jargon (which is all google seems to show me) would be really appreciated, thank you.
