HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate concern sorry bout the accident, the medicine you have been taking for urinary tract infection and the constipation does not cause any harm to kidney, for the constipation better to drink more water this would also help in infection, and have more fibber containing diet, wish you a rapid recovery and take good care of yourself, hope this information helps you have nice day.
