I have a 6mm kidney stone in my left kidney. Currently, I am experiencing constipation and a heavy feeling in my belly. My report mentions gas in the bowel detected by a 10 MHz scan. Could the constipation be related to the kidney stone. Please suggest how I can relieve the constipation and what steps I should take? Thank you, sir.

A 6mm kidney stone can cause discomfort but is usually managed with fluids and medication. Constipation and bloating may be due to dietary factors or intestinal gas. These are not directly caused by the kidney stone. Do get done Xray KUB and urine routine as soon as possible.

Hi all, I am attaching my mother urine RE and culture test report. Yesterday I got input here on the RE report but today we got the culture report. Can anyone please look at both reports again and give their valuable input? Thank you in advance. Note: She complained about burning while urinating, so we did these two tests on the recommendation of the doctor.

I am experiencing a burning sensation after urinating, and my urine is dark yellow. I did a urine test, but the results were normal. What could be causing this?

My child urine report shows 1+ ketones. She is underweight, but her height is normal for her age. Currently, she has been suffering from tonsillitis with fever for the last 4 days.
