Constant low back ache is a common complaint that can significantly impact daily life and overall well-being. While it is often attributed to musculoskeletal issues, it is essential to recognize that many urological conditions can also contribute to persistent low back pain. Under the care of Dr. Pruthvi Raj Honnaiah, an experienced urologist, patients can receive comprehensive evaluation and expert treatment for such conditions.

Urological Causes of Low Back Ache

• Kidney Stones: Kidney stones can cause severe, recurring pain in the lower back, often radiating to the sides or lower abdomen. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, and blood in the urine.
• Kidney Infections (Pyelonephritis): Infections in the kidneys can lead to constant dull or sharp pain in the back. Associated symptoms include fever, chills, painful urination, and frequent urination.
• Obstructive Uropathy: Blockages in the urinary tract, such as ureteral strictures or an enlarged prostate, can cause pain in the lower back and urinary symptoms.
• Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD): This hereditary condition results in multiple cysts in the kidneys, causing chronic back or flank pain as the cysts enlarge.
• Prostate Disorders: Conditions such as prostatitis or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) can sometimes present with referred pain in the lower back.
• Kidney Tumors: In rare cases, persistent low back pain may be a sign of kidney tumors or malignancies.

Diagnosis and Treatment

At Dr. Pruthvi Raj's clinic, the diagnosis of constant low back ache involves a thorough evaluation, detailed medical history, and advanced diagnostic tools such as ultrasound, CT scans, or MRI. A urinalysis or blood test may also be conducted.

The treatment plan depends on the root cause of the pain:

• Kidney Stones: Managed through medication, dietary changes, or minimally invasive procedures like laser lithotripsy or ureteroscopy.
• Infections: Treated with antibiotics and supportive care.
• Obstructions: Relieved using endourological techniques or surgical interventions.
• Polycystic Kidney Disease: Addressed with pain management, medications, and lifestyle modifications.
• Prostate Issues: Treated using medications, minimally invasive procedures, or surgery depending on severity.
