Hi, it appears to be there might small stones in the ureter causing pain and recurant infection. There could be a partial obstruction to the ureter may be due to the swelling of the surrounding structures.
The difference in kidney size could be due to hydronephrosis of the right kidney.
Any how you tell your doctor only the difficulty you are facing, and how long. Rest of the things your doctor will decide what tests to be done.
. Thank you.
