What Are The Symptoms Of Kidney Infection?

I just went to the hospital due to kidney infection. my pee smelled like shunk and the pain was horrible. I got antibiotics and I was drinking more water than before. after my dosage was over I started to get the pain again and my pee smells like shunk again. do I have a kidney infection again? does it have to do that my husband gives me oral sex and that we have rough sex? could it be that maybe he is the one that needs a check up?

Hello,

Thank you for the query and welcome to Healthcaremagic!

In order to help you more i will need more information about your health like did you have kidney infection or a lower urinary tract infection?Was any ultrasound done? was there any complaint of kidney stone or ureteric reflux in your test?

Kidney infection is a upper urinary tract infection which usually occurs from a blood spread on body infection or spread from lower urinary tract due to obstruction in tract or urinary reflux. I will advice get your urine analysis done and get a ultrasound done if not done previous to find if any cause of stone/reflux. If diagnosed a urinary infection proper course of antibiotics like ciprofloxacin for 5 to 7 days is needed to treat completely.
You can have lower urinary infection from sex if not proper hygiene is maintained. Always pass urine after sex to avoid this.
Hope this helped,contact back for future query.
Takecare!
