Frequent kidney infections w/ upper GI pain?


I am a 23 yr old woman who has had 5 kidney infections in the past 8 months. Each is accompanied by severe upper abdominal pain (right under diaphram), migraines, and severe dizziness and fainting. I was diagnosed with chronic gastritis, and no doctor has tested kidney function any further. What could be the underlying cause (s) that I should research and talk about with my doctors?

(I am sexually active with one completely monogamous partner, and I urinate after sex, everytime, and have only had a handful of partners in my life)

Commonly misdiagosed bladder infection.

Ask your doctor what causes this?
