Do I Need A CT Scan If USG Shows Obstruction In Kidneys?
Hello, My Name is Kazi Afroza Sultana Sumi. My age is 26. when i feel pain and urinilar problem (like drop drop urin) consulted with a urologist. He suggested the tests 1. Urin R/M/E 2. Urine for C/S 3. S.Creatinine 4. USG of KUB region+ MCC and PVR-2D. After getting the report i found 1st 3 were in normal range but the last one is not satisfactory. the reports shows :a ) Mild Obstructive features in both kidneys. b)Hyperechoic mass in left adnexal region (? Ovarian dermoid) . I m too tensed. my doctor then suggested me abt CT scan of kidneys. but my concern is should i step forward to this big test just for this report? as far i know CIty scan is not good for health. then verbally i consult with a doctor he suggested abt IVU test. u can see that i have ovarian prblm also. Please give me a right suggestion.

Hello
Your findings need further investigations.You are rightly advised for CT scan or IVP.
Findings suggests mild obstruction inn both kidneys and ultrasound may not be always able to detect underlying cause of obstruction.
Obstruction may be due to many reasons like mild stricture etc.CT scan or IVP will be helpful in further management.
You may only need follow up ultrasound for dermoid cyst in ovary.It is a benign finding and small dermoid may regress with time.
It is usually not a serious finding.
Get well soon.
