Is there a correllation between kidney stones, gallstones, and any type of cancer?!
Question: Is there a correllation between kidney stones, gallstones, and any type of cancer.?
A little background. I'm 20, female, healthy and active. I have had kidney stones since I was 18, and I currently have a 17mm gallstone in my gallbladder (first time). I've had moderate to severe localized abdominal pain. I had an ultrasound about 2 weeks ago and it said I have a gallstone and that my liver looked "okay" (what my dr. said.). My pain: my back, obviously my gallbladder and kidneys, and pain occasionally in my loins. I also had some blood work done, and it said that my urine had a little blood (my period did not start until 2 days later) and that there was bacteria present. I've had Urinary Tract Infections before, so I know that that wasn't it. Please help.Health Question & Answer
