What Causes Left Abdominal Pain, Cramping, Hematuria And Black Stool?

Hi I have been having left side flank pain and side cramping. I was tested last week with a lot of white blood cells in my urine. My doctor thinks I may have a kidney infection and I've been on antibodics for 5 days now and I'm still not feeling better. I also have been passing sludge like stool that is black. Is that related to a kidney infection?

Hello
Thanks for query . Sever left flank pain with black sludge like stools can be mostly due to infection of colon (Colitis) and needs to be investigated .

Get following basic tests done to establish diagnosis
1) urine routine and culture
2) Stool examination
3) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen to rule out presence of urinary stone

Take combination of antibiotic like Ofloxacin and Tinidazole twice daily for 5 days
2)Ensure to drink adequate water
3) Pantaprozole twice daily
4) Anti spasmodic like Cyclopam twice daily ,
5) Avoid spicy and oily foods
6) Take soft diet with adequate curd ,rice and buttermilk.

This should work for you .
