Yes, urine can flow back into the kidneys, a condition known as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). This occurs when urine flows backward from the bladder toward the kidneys.
-
Why it matters: This can increase the risk of kidney infections and damage if not managed properly.
-
Causes: It may result from a malfunction of the valves between the bladder and ureters or other urinary tract abnormalities.
-
Symptoms: Often asymptomatic, but can cause frequent urinary tract infections, fever, or pain.
-
Diagnosis and treatment: Diagnosed with imaging tests like an ultrasound or VCUG. Treatment ranges from monitoring to antibiotics or surgery, depending on severity.
If you have concerns about urinary symptoms or infections, consult a healthcare provider for evaluation and care.

View allI've been having this issue where every time I shake my penis, it gets this bulge on it. It's really odd because after about 8 hours, it seems to go back to its normal shape. This has been worrying me, and I'm not sure what to do. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I've been feeling some mild pain in my lower abdomen, around the groin area, and just above my penis. The weird thing is, it seems to ease up when I pass gas and there's just a lot of gas happening. I'm a bit worried because I was diagnosed with renal stones a couple of months ago. Could this be related to those stones, or is it something else?
Chest Pain, Headache, and Digestive Issues _Possible causes:_ 1. _Digestive issues_: Consuming milk and curd simultaneously may have caused digestive discomfort. 2. _Acid reflux_: Stomach acid may be flowing back up into the esophagus, causing chest pain and discomfort. 3. _Other possibilities_: Anxiety, stress, or other underlying medical conditions. _Remedy suggestions:_ 1. _Digestive enzymes_: Take digestive enzyme supplements or eat foods rich in enzymes, such as papaya or pineapple. 2. _Avoid simultaneous dairy consumption_: Stop consuming milk and curd together to alleviate digestive discomfort. 3. _Ginger and lemon_: Try ginger tea or add lemon juice to water to help alleviate digestive issues. 4. _Antacids or acid reducers_: If you experience acid reflux symptoms, consider taking antacids or acid reducers. 5. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water to help with digestion and overall health. 6. _Rest and relaxation_: Prioritize rest and engage in stress-reducing activities, such as meditation or deep breathing exercises. _Consult a doctor:_ 1. _Schedule a follow-up appointment_: Revisit your doctor to discuss your ongoing symptoms and adjust your treatment plan. 2. _Undergo further testing_: Your doctor may recommend additional tests to rule out underlying conditions.
