Could Kidney PUJ Be Related To Irregular Menstruation?
Hi,
I have a puj in my right kidney. It was diagnosed 1 month ago when I was rushed into hospital with extreme pain and vomiting. I have just had an ultra sound and a mag 3 and am waiting for my operation date. Since the puj has happened my menstraul cycle has become irregular. My last cycle was 36 days long and I have not had one this month yet. I am on day 35. None of the doctors will commit to an answer of whether the 2 issues are linked or not. I have never been irregular before.
Thank you
Hi It is my ususal practice to do CT scan as part of evaluation of PUJ obstruction to confrm diagnosis. CT scan also can pick up other causes of kidneuy obstrucion and rule out other abnormalities. As long as the diagnosis is only PUJ obstruction as per the MAG 3 and CT scan then there is no relation between it and irregular periods.
