Brief Answer:
Sounds like kidney infection (Pyelonephritis). Consult Urologist soon.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Ms XXXXXXX Welcome to healthcaremagic.com

I have gone through your complaints and understand your concerns.

From your description, I strongly suspect infection of the kidneys which in medical terms is called pyelonephritis.

If you could answer these few questions, it would help me guide you better.

1. Since when have you been these symptoms?
2. Do you have fever?
3. Do you have chills and rigors?
4. Do you have any urgency, increased frequency of urination or burning sensation while passing urine?
5. Can you describe the pain in detail? Does the pain stay put at one place, that is loin, or does it come down and into the groin?

Please do get back to me with details so that I can help you better.

Awaiting your response.

Best regards

Brief Answer:
With your history, it is necessary to rule out kidney infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Ms XXXXXXX

Thank you for writing back to me with details.

Since you have had multiple surgeries on the right kidney and there is an indwelling stent, it predisposes you to recurrent kidney infections, and if there is infection in one kidney, that can spread to the other kidney as well.

Blood in stools is a separate issue and the cause for the needs to be identified by physical examination and if required a colonoscopy.

I am positive that your major problem right now is due to kidney infection, however, please get a urine culture and sensitivity test done to find out the exact causative bacteria and get a course of antibiotics that are appropriate.

You might need to take the medicines for longer than usual, please discuss the same with the urologist.

Please do not ignore this, the infection can destroy the functioning part of your kidneys. Please do consult a urologist as soon as possible.

Wishing you speedy recovery.

Warm regards.
