Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i must advise you to get an ultrasound scan of the abdomen.
You've not mentioned, why your kidney was removed.
If at all, it was removed for a kidney tumor, then proceed to a CT scan.
Also do your blood routine tests, with sugar and kidney function tests,and urine routine test.
Take a laxative like Dulcolax tablets, two at bedtime,till you've good bowel movements.You can contact me with reports,if you've any doubt.
