Call the Dr who saw you and see.
hi vance, thanks for the response :)
he said it was possible i could have a UTI..
its interesting he is checking for this urea and whatever else it is because urethritis is a cause of that (even though ive been retested at the clinic and my infections are confirmed as gone)
i dont even know how im going to get the results though as he didnt say, do they just send them back to your local doctor?
Maybe, but I think you can probably rule out STD's at this point.
hi again guys
i have been to see my specialist and he is now testing my urine for urea bacteria? given that ive had urethritis is it possible i am still getting the symptoms?
when he got the 2 urine bottles one definitly had urea on it and he said he needed another for NSU
This is a STD specific forum, we really can't go into other areas like kidney's due to our limited knowledge
hi Grace
i was just wondering in regards to my description of my problem if i should have any specific questions ready for the kidney specialist? as i dont want to be fobbed off
i think my slightly abnormal kidneys on my blood test are purely down to having the infections.
thanks
hi Grace
many thanks for your response :)
i dont get any pain with the urination, my symptom now is how quickly i feel the urine building up / being created in me after ive visited the toilet, when i come back from the toilet its like total relief like nothing is there but then it creeps back in, its a very strange problem now.
just wondering because of the infections ive had could they have caused the same symptoms to be happening after they have gone?
if your kidneys aren't working properly, that can cause pain with urination. at this point just follow up with the nephrologist and go from there.
best of luck!
hi again,
update
i have been told to go back to my kidney specialist for follow up appointment now cos my creatinine level was up at 126 i think.... if he signs it off as not a kidney problem now i will be referred to urology.
is it possible this is just a bladder issue now...any ideas?
Well the additional medication could be working or maybe it is just "fake" pain. The mind has the ability to mainfest pain or anything of that nature in our bodies when we believe something.
If things presist then see a uriologist.
hi
thanks for the answers :)
it just feels like its gone about 70% but still something in there :(
I would suggest seeing a uriologist at this point.
1. It should, but can't say for certain
2. Probably not
3. Yes
4. Don't know what it is so couldn't say.
