General & Family Physician,  's  Response
The blood in urine is likely to indicate an urinary tract infection (UTI) which is often associated with increased frequency of passage of urine. UTI may commonly give rise to pain in lower abdomen or lower back. In other words, the blood in urine and the back pain could be related. Please get a urine routine microscopy and culture to be sure.
Although kidney stones and diverticulosis are also possibilities, they seem less likely. There is no need to jump to conclusions. Please discuss with your doctor and get a ultrasonogram done to be sure.
