idiopathic (we dont know).

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Hmm...: I bet you've got a little vascular malformation that's grown in your prostatic urethra. Time to get with a urologist. You're a young man, probably in the peak of good health, and pain around there is surely a nuisance. We can figure it out and fix it, I'll bet. Best wishes.

: Please request another urine test and quantity of urine protein screening. Autoimmune disease should be considered, and is often associated with renal disease. Screening tests are available. Monitor BP and please follow up with your physician soon. If symptoms described are present currently, please see urgent care or the Emergency room, depending on the severity.

Question 6

my urine looks like thick grainy mud. i am not emptying my bladder go frequenly have fever and stomach and low back pain. there is visible blood ?

Accepted Answer

Infection: you have a severe infection of your urinary system. You need to be seen right now to get evaluated and treated. This is something you need to go to the ER for.

Question 7

i am experiencing  low back pain. i have high blood pressure took on fri 217/97 today it's 174/116 i have cloudy urine and white blood cells in urine ?

Accepted Answer

Get urinalysis.: Kidney disease may refer pain to the spine, so,check for infection. If that is not it, get a good spine exam

Question 8

i was told that i have mod. blood in urine but no uti, what can be an issue? i am having low back pain (pinching)  & unusual heart palpitations.

Accepted Answer

Micro-hematuria: Microscopic hematuria is fairly common and often from a benign familial tendency.  Unfortunately, blood in the urine is also often the only sign one gets from some conditions that need to be discovered, like bladder or kidney cancer or kidney stones.  See a urologist for workup. It likely will involve an office cystoscopic exam and upper urinary tract imaging.

Question 9

cat scan shows kidney stones in both kidneys. largest 10mm right side. had on and off dull low back pain and blood in urine. can they cause damage?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If the kidney stone blocks the flow of urine from the kidney, you can get permanent kidney damage, but that can take weeks to happen and is associated with severe pain.  Also, kidney stones can become infected from pyelonephritis (kidney infection - not a typical urinary tract infection (uti)) and be challenging to treat.  Please see your health care provider and consider a referral to urology.

Question 10

urine culture came back negative but the dip stick test was positive for red blood cells.  doesnt burn while i pee but continually burns after i pee.  also have low back pain mid to left side of back.  what can cause this if not uti? cancer?

Accepted Answer

Work up: Will be needed. You experience dysuria or burning after urination and your dipstick was abnormal. Back pain is also of concern and imaging should substantiate structural changes. There are many other benign causes for your symptoms, including stones or cysts, cancer cannot be ruled out yet. Stick with your doc, who may consult an urologist, if needed.
