Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It's definitely not just anxiety. We need to rule out urinary infection as you have duplex kidney and more prone to get infected. Have you got your thyroid and blood sugar checked? If there are wbcs in urine get your urine culture and next to take antibiotics.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
