Hi Im 25 years old. The last few days I have had dull pains on my left side above pelvic bone and sometimes i can feel it in the groin and back area. I thought at first i had a UTI. But I have never had one where i was bloated and this pain all of the left side... I have urinated like every 5 min and it never seems to be enough. although it dosent really burn when i use the bathroom when i finish i do get a lil sting sometimes. could this be a kidney infection?
Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. With your kind of history, if I were your doctor, after a general and local physical examination with special attention to the inguinal region and both testis, I would advise you for a routine/microscopic/culture sensitivity test of your urine and an ultrasound of the abdomen. All these would lead me to either confirm or rule out a urinary tract infection, and/or an epididymo-orchitis or a developing inguinal hernia on the left side. Till the reports are available, I would advise you with an anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.  Further management would depend on the reports of investigations and physical examination. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
