What Causes Pain In Kidney Area?

Hi I have had UTI upper and lower tract infection about 6 months ago which needed to be treated with 2 courses of antibiotics. Symptoms did mostly get better but every now and again ive felt a similar niggle in my right kidney area. Its not uncomfortable like when i first was diagnosed with uti, but I am weary about it. I went to my doctor today to do a urine sample and check up and my sample is at the lab now... but I am very worried; although my urine was a normal yellow, 1 piece of clear tissue with a slight pink section near the centre of the tissue was in my urine. What could it be or what questions do I need to ask my doctor so she can focus in the right area. I am obese and losing weight gradually. 9 kilos over 3 months to date. Im not doing anything too strenuous. Im pacing myself in this healthy lifestyle journey. I do also have PCOS and pre-diabetic. Can you please help :(

Urologist 's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can fully understand your concern.
It would be good to know your age and what medication you're taking. Anyway,ensure you have urine culture , HbA1C, creatinine, and ultrasound abdomen done. Drink 8-10 glasses fluids daily.
Exercise regularly and watch your diet, to prevent progress to diabetes.
You may send the reports to me here, for an expert opinion.
Wish you well.
