Suggest treatment for pressure on the kidney and urinary incontinence while suffering from lung cancer
Patient: Hi doctor, I would like to inquire about some discomforts. Starting from a month back, I can feel dull pain (like pressures) on kidney area (back waist and sometime sides waist area) after sleeping for around 5hrs onwards at night. However, no issue during Daytime or when I'm not lying down. I also feel that I have a little shorter tolerance for urine management (when i feel the urge to visit the loo, it's usually already at a quite urgent stage. This is not my usual self. Could this be any potential medical issue that needs attention or maybe just aching due to a less active lifestyle? Thank you for your attention.P.S: I've no prior kidney or bladder issue. Currently under medical treatment (Iressa) for lung cancer and was told that this drug doesn't cause any side effect on other organs. Doctor: hi, As per your description it seems like some bladder incontinence which is very mild. Actually at night time we don't void frequently so there is pressure build up in bladder after 5-6 hours and due to some incontinence, there is a urgency in urination that cause some discomfort in kidney area due to back pressure. there is nothing much to worry about. You just take Tab Solicept/ Soliten 10 mg at bed time daily for 15 days. You definitely feel some relief.thank you
