I have attached the medical report for your review. The findings mention that the walls of the bladder are thickened, and one kidney is smaller in size. I would like to understand what complications can arise from this condition, what treatment options are available, and what precautions should be taken. Is this a life threatening disease, or can it reduce my friend lifespan? Also, I am worried, will he have to spend the rest of his life bedridden?

Many people live healthy lives with one small kidney. Thickened bladder wall may be due to past infections. Regular monitoring and precautions help manage this well. Not life threatening in most cases.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been experiencing constant urethral pain for the past two months. After consulting a doctor, I underwent a urine flow test, and based on the results, I was prescribed Levoflox and Alfoo for one month, followed by Alfoo alone for another month. Despite completing the medications, the pain has not reduced. Please advise on what can be done to overcome this problem.

Sir, I drink 2 to 3 liters of water daily, but I pass only about 700 to 800 ml of urine per day. A few days ago, I had a kidney infection, but now my reports are normal. Both urine routine and culture tests are normal. What could be the reason?
