Should I Slow Down For My Drinks As Experiencing Pain Around Kidney Area?

Hi, I often binge drink at weekends (not in the week) and lately I am experiencing pain around my kidney area for many days after. I am a bit worried I may be doing damage, it does get better with time, I have been drinking like this for about 20 years now, do you think it s time to slow down.?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It is important to get evaluated for your pains in kidney regions. This involves consulting with your doctor and getting an ultrasound scan done of the abdomen. There are many other organs in the abdomen, inflammation or conditions related to which can cause pain. Pain can be caused by small and large stones in the kidneys and ureters. Pain can also be felt due to gastritis which is more after binge drinking. Pain following drinking can also be due to pancreatitis. Small stones in the gall bladder can also be a cause of pain after taking fatty meals.

You must get an ultrasound scan of abdomen soon.
