Hi im 45 years old women , who just had a baby 4 months ago,I have recently pain in the lower left side. Ob clear me and i went to urologist, they perform ultrasound and find 2 tiny cysts but the pain is much lower. I asked my primary doctor to send me to ga doctor  ( i was having Ibs many years ago) but he refuse to do,I need a referrals to go to specialist so basically he is forcing me to do ct scan first ? I did many scans before I dont want to have more radiation what to do?Thanks!
Hello. When a kidney ultrasound shows cysts or other lesions, a more specific test to know the cause of lesions is CT scan. I understand your fear of radiation, but if your urologist request to make CT scan is because it is necessary for a right diagnosis, and because Ct scan benefits outweigh the risks. I wish you good health.
