What Causes Pain In Lower Right Abdomen And Little Blood In Urine?

I am having pain in my lower right abdomen. I have been taking antibiotics for 2 weeks, but the pain continues. When I drink alcoholic beverages, I develop a pain in my back. Several months ago, I had a urine sample taken for a new job, and was told that a microscopic amount of blood was found in the urine. What could be some possible causes for these symptoms? I am 55 years old, a non smoker. I have high blood pressure, which I take medication for. I am 5'1, and I am overweight. My stomach sometimes is distended.

Hello! Welcome to HCM.
This seems to be due to a stone in urinary tract.
Stone causes obstruction to urine outflow. Smooth muscles in ureter contract excessively to overcome the obstruction & so is the pain.
Commonest stone is Calcium-oxalate stone which has spikes on its surface. These spikes cause trauma to mucosa of the urinary tract & so is the blood in urine.
Many such patients are treated in my clinic to whom I advise ultrasound abdomen & pelvis, X-ray KUB, renal function tests, urine routine, blood sugar level.
This helps in accurate diagnosis & appropriate treatment.
Hope this information is useful for you.
Wish you healthy life.
Thanks.
Regards.
