It is very important to take care of this, because may aggravate
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your health query.
I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.
Protein in the urine is sign of a kidney infection or damage.
The pain in the lower abdomen can be sign of a gynecological problem (if you have any risk for it) or sign of a urine infection.
My recommendation is to see a local doctor as soon as possible so you can rule out these causes.
-- Consider a urine analyse to rule out a urinary infection.
-- Also, checking creatinine will tell you if you have kidney failure, together with the urine output in 6 hours.
The most important thing, as I said above, is to do this as soon as possible because you need to start a treatment if that is needed, which can prevent and why not reverse, a possible damage of the kidney.
Avoid taking medications for the pain, because they may damage the kidney further.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Otherwise please close and rate the answer.
