Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
I've been experiencing some discomfort lately, and I'm not sure if it's related to my kidneys. Have you noticed any pain or discomfort in the kidney area, lower back, or abdomen?

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
1. Pain or discomfort in the kidney area, lower back, or abdomen could indeed be a sign of a kidney stone. I recommend scheduling a low-dose CT scan of the urinary tract to help confirm the diagnosis.
2. It's also a good idea to consult with a urologist who can guide you through the next steps in treatment and management.
