Hi my name is carri I was wondering if you have a kidney infection can this cause pain on your sides? My pain in on the right side. I have no idea what else it could be. I have heard that your lower back would hurt, but mine does not, it is just my right side.
Hello, yes pain in right side mostly in the flank region can be due to kidney. But It's difficult to pinpoint on infection alone. Most commonly pain in flanks is due to kidney stones which occurs due to kidney trying to push the stone against resistance which causes the pain. I would advise you to get a USG scan of abdomen along with a urine routine examination which will clear whether its kidney stone or any urine infection. Thank you
