I had both, it isn't anything to mess with, during child bearing years the way I got PG was to have laroscopie's (spelling?) I have had three and three pregnancies we did loose a child in the middle but the other two are healthy and well one is 22 and one will be 14. I belive my problem was enhanced by a tipped uretus. Not a comfortible condition at all. Consult a PHY and get regular check ups they may want to lazer them open to keep you from getting sists(spelling?) as well. I am now 47 still have all my parts that they wanted to removed before my 25th birthday. If you stay healthy other ways your insides will follow. I was fine for years but now that I am in Menapause I am in need of the ovary surgery, no need to remove everything though. Unless you have that kind of cancer in your family or have shot drugs to put those free agents into your body, you should be fine. A good PMS medicine and some Aleve will do the trick at the worse of times. I am not a doctor but have had my share of operation, at this point, I only want one more trip, I am ready to not be a total woman. This lasts to long to suit me. lol!

Hi,\nI'm really sorry to hear this.We have been through something similar.\nAt my 18 week scan,they picked up a problem with my son's kidneys,they did a repeat scan at 25 weeks.He had dilated polycystic kidneys.At birth he was born with a cleft palate and had to have several scan's and tests on his kidney's.His one is functioning normally but the other has totally dissolved,it was dilated non-functioning and covered in cyst's.\nHis cleft caused more problems than his kidney's though.\nWishing you well for a safe delivery,hope all goes well.

Up to three months.  Doctor will not give you another for three months after the first.

Lithotripsy is a procedure in which shockwaves are used to break up kidney stones into sandlike particles which can then pass through the body when you urinate.  This procedure IS NOT painful and does not require a person to remain in the hospital overnight.  The patient can return to normal activity a few hours after the procedure.  I have had a lithotripsy at least twice for kidney stones.

I had my first (and hopefully last) kidney stone a couple of months ago. It started out with a general upset stomach sort of thing - felt like I might have diarrhea. I took Pepto Bismol (bad idea) and threw up a couple of times (so hard that I burst several small blood vessels around my eyes - it looked like I had red freckles). The pain increased but was concentrated on my left side, just below my ribcage, both front and back. I couldn't be still - I couldn't stand, sit, lie down, lean over, kneel, crouch, lay on my back with my feet up on the wall - believe me, I tried every position I could think of. The pain became excruciating and I finally went to the emergency room (where I sat for several hours). They did a CT scan and it showed the kidney stone. By the time I met with a doctor, the pain had receded quite a bit. They gave me a prescription for Vicodin, instructions to make an appointment with a urologist, and a stupid little plastic funnel with a screen so I could strain my urine and catch the little bugger if I passed it on my own. I ended up having minor surgery to remove it two days later.\n\nThe urologist told me that I would feel the worst pain when the stone was leaving the kidney and entering the ureter, then when it passed over a bundle of blood vessels near my pelvic bone, again when it entered my bladder, and again when it exited my bladder and made its bid for freedom.\n\nSo that was the long answer to your question. The short answer is PAIN. Lots and lots of pain concentrated on one side or the other, often in your back. Excruciating pain that literally makes you beg for your mommy.

Firstly, I am sorry that your doctor let you down. \nNow,I agree with the lab tech above, they are not the ones who decide what tests get done. Although,I will say as a nurse, if a culture comes back positive for bacteria noted; the lab, at the hospital in the town I work in, keeps the specimen for 24 hours. And if for some reason I forgot to check run a C&S if positive, they will usually call the MD's nurse or myself and varify order to run. Of course, even if the nurse and lab have all the information for the doctor, he can still refuse to change what antibiotic therapy(ABT) you are on. \nAs for quinolones ie cipro, levaquin, tequin etc; this group is usually a good first choice for urinary tract infections, but because of the over use of this group of ABT, bacterial resistant has increased to it. My only other thought here is the prostatitis, which simply put is the inflammation of the prostate. This can be from various causes, one of which is bacterial infection. Was it confirmed in the beginning that the prostatitis was caused by bacteria, and was an anti-inflammatory medication; ibuprofen, aspirin,etc; started?\nBasicly, the doctor did not follow the rule us nurses have to. We are hammer to think about what any prudent nurse would do in any given situation. Any prudent MD would have had the C&S run again after UA came back positive. And even if pt had not had foley cath. MD should have had another Urinalysis run in two weeks because most ABT regimes are not longer than this and high risk of resistence development.

Get a second opinion.  In the meantime, alternate with ice and heat.

Wow!  Way to Go!\n\nHey!  You might be working those hand OVERTIME!\n\nI suggest you talk with a medical professional just to help settle your mind.  Don't feel embarrassed.  They get asked this stuff all the time.\n\nMy husband is a doctor.  I'll ask him about this.\n\n(a few hours later)\nI asked him.  He said if the blood was a bright red, the was likely a ruptured artery.  If the blood was a dark red, then, a ruptured vein.  He also said it could be a result of a kidney stone (but not likely).  In the case of ruptured vein, take a break from the ritual.\n\nHe used more technical terms and said much more, but that's the gist that I recall.

Normally those operations don't have that much risk more that the tend to come back after about a year, unfortunately  :-(\nGet a second opinion from another specialist or try to look it up on the net.

Your kidney perhaps??  I have been suffering from chronic kidney stones since I was in High School, and have to say that I have never had those symptoms post-stone passing.  Those are things that I had DURING the whole agonizing process of flushing with IV fluids, etc.  Is it possible there is still another, or more stones in there still? \n\nAlso, did you have a lot of blood in your urine?  You might need to have your hemoglobin checked to make sure your iron isn't too low.  There is quite possibly the chance of a secondary infection as well. That could effect any of your organs, if it had the opportunity to spread.  My best advice here--go see the DR, or at least give him/her a call and let them know what's up.  GL!  P.S. PUSH fluids and drink cranberry juice in the meantime!

I think the timeline is somewhere like 3-6 months. You should probably wait a good while so your body has time to heal. Do what your doc recommends. Don't get anxious, take your time.
