Question

I have been experiencing pain in the right kidney area for two days, especially aching in the lower back. The right renal region often has a subtle pain. Sometimes I even suspect that I might have a hernia. What could be the possible causes of the right kidney pain?

Answer

Right kidney pain is common in various situations, including kidney infections, hydronephrosis, kidney tumors, kidney tuberculosis, or due to kidney stones, blood clots, or necrotic tissue (caused by inflammation or tumors) leading to ureteral obstruction, thereby causing ureteral spasm and increased renal pelvis pressure. It is recommended to undergo a kidney ultrasound examination and routine urine analysis to rule out kidney stones and detect any urinary tract infection. Wishing you good health.
