What causes abdominal pain while urinating and RBC in urine?

Question

Hello doctor,

From the last two years, I have some problems. At an interval of 2 to 3 months, I sometimes get lower abdominal pain while urinating. A few months back, the pain was terrible for two days. I consulted my doctor, and he advised me some medications. He told that it is a case of cystitis. My KUB ultrasound was found normal. But during a health checkup a few days back, RBC was detected in my urine. So, the doctor told me that I have a chance of having a kidney stone. I am uploading my urine report for further details.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen your reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

Yes, your reports show plenty of RBCs (red blood cells) in urine, which signifies infection. It could be secondary to renal calculi lodged somewhere up in the kidneys or ureter. It might be so small that it is not detectable on the ultrasound.

I would advise you to repeat the ultrasound of the abdomen so that the pathology can be detected.

Increase water intake to get good urine output. I suggest taking tablet Ofloxacin 300 mg, twice a day and tablet Metronidazole 100 mg, three times daily till then. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines after their consent.

Thank you.
