I have been experiencing pain on both sides of my abdomen, near the kidneys and ribcage. My physician advised an ultrasound, and the report indicates a left renal calculus and bilateral renal pelvis dilation, suggesting UTI or cystitis. Other organs like kidney, liver, and bladder appear normal. What should be my next step? Should I consult a kidney specialist or continue with a general physician?

I have been suffering from dribbling after urination for the last three months. I need to wait 2 to 3 minutes after urination. I visited a physician with my urine report which is normal. He advised me to ignore it but I am still worried. Do I need to survive with this issue?
