Does Blood In Urine Occur Due To Uti Or Kidney Infections?

My back just under my lowest floating rib has been hurting. and because I already have some low back pain I figured it was that. In the mornings after sleeping the pain under my ribs in my back ache dully. It actually feels better if I get up and start moving around. I have had ongoing infections either uti and or kidney. I think though this time its really odd. There is blood in my urine but dinking tons of cranberry juice seems to get rid of burning and other problems and my urine becomes clearer than ever. then after a few days its back to burning and blood. Is this related my back and uti and can I clear these things up on my own or do I need to go in? Also other wierd and random symptoms not sure if relevant are: nausea, a funny taste in my mouth.

Urologist 's  Response
Hello
Thanks for query .

Repeated episodes of back ache below the rib and blood in urine (Hematuria) is mostly due to presence of stone in the kidney and needs to be investigated and confirmed .

Drinking lots of cranberry juice will not resolve the issue for forever.

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis.


Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
