Question
I am 16, male. Last year I started having burning sensations and pains whilst urinating. The pain went away but then came back. I went to the doctor she said I was far too young to be having these symptoms as I had blood in my urine on two occasions. She found protein in my urine. I went hospital and they done an X ray on my kidney and took several blood tests and I am waiting for the results. What could be wrong with me?

Answer
It is good that you are getting checked by a doctor. Could be an infection or a kidney stone...
