Kidney pain while urinating Posted: 12-13-06 06:19am
10+ years ago i had a bad kidney
infection, had to stay in hospital while
being treated. they discovered a cyst on
my right kidney, through ultra sound scans
determined it was nothing to worry about
but could change in the future.
recently i have experienced an intense
sharp pain in my right kidney region while
urinating. this happens approx 3 times a
week.
what could this mean?
i drink nothing but orange juice squash
and water and my diet is quite
healthy.

Maybe you need another ultrasound scan of
the abdomen to check the kidneys. Kidney
stones can cause sharp and severe pain
such as that which you describe. A renal
cyst, on the other hand, can’t cause any
pain except if it is inflamed. You can
consult a nephrologist for further
specialty help.
