Dear Patient,
Regarding your question “Left flank pain with frequent urination: What are the possible causes?”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The concurrent presentation of left flank pain and polyuria may be indicative of left renal colic. This condition is frequently associated with ureteral calculi obstructing the flow of urine, particularly during the passage of the calculus. You should see a Nephrology - Urology specialist for diagnosis and appropriate treatment. If necessary, you may have blood tests, urine tests, kidney function tests, and abdominal ultrasound (to determine if you have an infection, stones, or other problems). You should not let the disease prolong, affecting kidney function and future health.
If you have any further questions about left flank pain, you can visit a hospital in the Vinmec Health System for further examination and consultation. Thank you for your trust and for sending your question to Vinmec. We extend our best wishes for your health.
Sincerely!
