Is uroscan dangerous? (It is done twice this month). Does it harm the body or have bad side effects? Can kidney stone cause bloating?

Everything in medicine has pros and cons.

We must always weigh the risk of doing tests and giving drugs for the patient.

If a test is important for your condition, it must be done to probably prevent more serious problems (compared to the danger of doing a test).

And this is what I think your physician did.

Furthermore, uroscanner is not very harmful, especially if a low dose radiation was given to you.
