INPUT ARTICLE: Article: See your doctor any time you have kidney pain. Call for an appointment if you experience pain in your back or flank (your side under and below your ribs) that is dull, aching, and constant. You may have other symptoms like fever, fatigue, body aches, or blood in your urine. Depending on the reason for the kidney pain, you may not have other symptoms. See your doctor if you have pain, without or without other symptoms. If you have even mild kidney pain but you recently had a urinary tract infection (UTI), see your doctor it's important to make sure the infection didn't spread to your kidneys. Older men may suffer from kidney pain and UTIs as a result of prostate issues, and these issues are often treatable. Some symptoms to watch out for include: Needing to urinate often, including in the middle of the night Painful urination or ejaculation Blood in urine or semen Pain in your lower back, thighs, hips, pelvis, or rectal area Dribbling urine Severe kidney pain that occurs all of a sudden can be a sign of a serious medical condition like a blood clot or bleeding in your kidney. Call emergency services or visit the Emergency Department at your local hospital, even if you have no other symptoms. Often, your regular doctor can treat your kidney pain if it's due to a common infection or kidney stones. Other causes, however, may require help from a specialist like a urologist or a nephrologist. You may even need to see a surgeon. Ask your doctor for the appropriate referral. Prepare to have a number of tests done when you visit your doctor or go to the hospital. It's likely that they will take a blood test and urine sample. Depending on what your doctor thinks might be causing your kidney pain, they may suggest you have an ultrasound, x-ray, CT, or MRI. Ask your doctor any questions you have about the tests.

SUMMARY: Visit your doctor. Watch for prostate conditions. Get emergency help if your pain is sudden and severe. See the appropriate specialist. Have diagnostic tests done.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Native Japanese counting tends to be simpler than the Sino-Japanese system and is only used to count things from 1 to 10. This set of numbers is also considered a universal counter. However, you can't use native Japanese to count money, time, or people. There are no counters in native Japanese style, which makes it simpler to use in daily life, for example, if you want to order 1 coffee or 3 pieces of sushi. Use flashcards or a similar method to learn the first 5 numbers in the native Japanese style counting. If you already know how to read hiragana, you can sound out the words. One (1) is (hitotsu, pronounced "hee-toh-tsoo"). Two (2) is (futatsu, pronounced "foo-tah-tsoo"). Three (3) is (mittsu, pronounced "mee-tsoo." Pause a beat between the two syllables). Four (4) is (yottsu, pronounced "yoh-tsoo"). Five (5) is (itsutsu, pronounced "ee-tsoo-tsoo"). Once you've mastered the first 5 numbers, move on to the next 5 using the same practice methods you used for the first 5. Now you can count to 10 in the native Japanese, or Wago, style. Six (6) is (muttsu, pronounced "moo-tsoo"). Seven (7) is (nanatsu, pronounced "nah-nah-tsoo"). Eight (8) is (yattsu, pronounced "yah-tsoo"). Nine (9) is (kokonotsu, pronounced "koh-koh-noh-tsoo"). Ten (10) is (tou, pronounced toh).

SUMMARY:
Learn when you can use the native Japanese style counting. Start with the numbers from 1 to 5. Add the numbers 6 through 10.
