Is Flank Pain Related To Kidney Disease?

My boyfriend is 63 and had a colposcopy last Tues. with removal on one polyp. Since surgery, he has been having lower flank pain on right and left sides, with a deep breathe and sometimes when he coughs. It has gotten a little less painful since the surgery but is persisting. He has never had this lower back pain except since this surgery. He urinates without pain or discomfort, has had two bowel movements since the surgery, no blood, etc. Is this kidney related? Can you tell me what this may be related to? He has a dr apt on this Tues. Thank you

Urologist,  's  Response
Hello mand welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can advise your boyfriend to get an ultrasound scan of abdomen done.
According to the report, further treatment can be advised.
For the time being, let him take an analgesic, when the pain is severe.
Wishing him a speedy recovery.
You're welcome to send the scan report to me, as a direct question, for an expert opinion. Enclose a copy of the endoscopic treatment done.
