Pregnant. Blood In Urine, Pain And Spasms In Right Kidney. Diagnosed Kidney Infection And Possible Kidney Stones. History Of Bulge And Feeling Of Ripping In Right Side Of Navel. Co-related?

Hello. I have always had blood in my urine. But now I am 5 months pregnant with blood in my urine. I am having pain in my right kidney. I can not tolerate lying flat on my back. I start having spasms in my right kidney every 3-4 seconds. It also hurts to walk. I did have leukocytes in my urine but not alot. They diagnosed me with kidney infection but possible also kidney stones. Any ideas? My greatest concern is that I went to my OBGYN a couple of months ago with a bulge on the right side of my navel. It felt like something ripping when I would move do you think this is any relation?

Urologist,  's  Response
Pain on movement is not related to kidneys, but related to the muscles. Application of warmth, local gels and Muscle relaxants should help.
Your urinary problem needs confirmation by urine analysis, urine culture. MRI is needed to look for stones as the pain occurs repeatedly.
Once confirmed, treatment can be started.
Antibiotics will cure UTI and stone treatment depends on the size and location.
Best regards
