Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Pain And Back Pain

My husband had kidney stones x 10 plus yrs. ago. Last week he complained of back pain and abdominal pain (dull ach). Went to PCP on Sat. dx: with UTI and prescribed Cipro. He had blood in his urine with a dipstick testing x 5 yrs. ago. I am concerned because he is 34 and when he was Dx with UTI, no urine culture was sent. Now, doctor scared him because he what him to see an Urologist to be elevated for kidney stones, bladder cancer, etc. What does he need to do?

Hi there,
I would suggest you should go and see a urologist. As the history you gave he was first diagnosed with kidney stones in his 20s and now he is being diagnosed with UTI. It is unusual for males to have UTI and therefore he should go and see a urologist. He might suggest you to undergo an ultrasound which is good as the underlying pathology will get clear.
Contact me if you have any further questions.
