Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some kidney disorder. It is not due to cancer always. There are many other causes. Stones or infection can also leads to same. Or you may have some muscular problems. You should go for ultrasound abdomen. It will give you exact idea regarding the cause. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
