Hi, I've been living in Finland for 2.5 years. I have a history of kidney stones, dating back to Pakistan where I had a ureteroscopy for a 13mm stone. Recently, I've been experiencing severe pain in my left lower back, bladder, and belly, which has worsened today and now affects my right side as well. Despite having these symptoms for almost two years, I've been trying to get a proper diagnosis from Terveystalo. They've only done urine tests and ultrasounds, which mostly come back clean. Once, the ultrasound showed mild hydronephrosis, but the urologist asked me to redo it due to some doubts about the previous one. The second ultrasound came back clean, and he closed my treatment. However, I still experience minor symptoms and they're reluctant to refer me for a CT scan. What should I do in this situation? How can I have proper diognosis for my case. I can share other symptom
I am 36 years old. I am a researcher by profession. These days my (head) hair are falling a lot. What could be the reason? Is there any doctor I can visit to have some tests and diagnose the problem? I live in Espoo.
