Questions in The Urology Forum are being answered by doctors from Henry Ford Health System , consistently ranked one of the best hospitals in America. Subsequently, I have began to feel a dull, aching throb bi-laterally to both kidneys. I do have a family history of kidney cancer and colon cancer. Dear Jane, The pain you describe may reflect a urinary tract infection. The burning and bladder symptoms you have are consistent with a bladder infection.
Many women suffer from intermittent urinary tract infections.
These most commonly affect only the bladder. However, if the infection ascends to the kidney it can cause systemic symptom such as fever, tiredness, nausea and vomiting. I would recommend that you see your physician and provide a fresh mid-stream urine specimen for analysis and possible culture.
