Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
As a nurse,you know very well,blood in urine or hematuria, is abnormal.
The best single test to find out origin of the bleeding is a CT-IVU.
That will explain the cause for your left flank pain also.Do some tests like :
1. urine routine and culture.
2. blood routine,creatinine,RBS,LFT,and platelets.
After seeing the reports,an Urologist can advise you expert treatment.
If you've any doubts,send the reports to me,as a direct question.
