Lower Abdomen Pain, Frequent Urination, No Blood In Urine. Done X-ray And Ultrasound. Psychological Problem?

i have been having a very dull and erratic pain in my lower abdomen area, it surely is not continuous. it maybe happens like 3 or 4 times a day at the maximum. i had it for the past two weeks so i consulted a doctor and i was asked to get an x-ray and ultrasound scan to rule out stones in my kidneys and my bladder. i had frequent urination at that time (it could have been because i was afraid i had stones so i had increased my water intake ). no fever no head aches. no bloody urine. well, at last the doctor told me that i had acidic urine and gave my some medication to neutralize that. the pain s gone when i dont think about it, but sometimes it appears all off a sudden and i cant stop thinking about it. is this problem psychological or could something else be wrong. there were two occasions over the past month and a half when sometimes i had the urge to pee very immediately and i couldn t for sometime but after a few seconds i did and at that time i had this small area in my balls where it bulged but returned to normal once i peed.

Urologist 's  Response
Hi, It is probably nt srious, but i suggest you have a test called Uroflowmetry, followed by estimation of post void residue which if normal would mean that we can comfortably start you on a medication belonging to a group of drugs called Anti-Cholinergics, which should take care of both the pain in lower abdomen, and sensation of needing to void urine with urgency.
If these tests show up a problem, there is a chance that you might develop retention of urine if you are started on these medications, so I suggest you take time off, get these tests done, and iif you have any doubts, you are welcome to get back to us.
