Could The Back Pain And Frequent Urination An Indication Of Kidney Problem?

I don't remember to drink water on a frequent basis, but when I do, I have to urinate within 5-10 minutes and a number of times after that within an hour. Is this normal?



Some things to know are that I suffer from low testesterone (about 348 from tests), I have been taking tribulus and horny goat weed to try and boost my testosterone. I also have some lower right back pain. Could this be indicative of a kidney problem? I am 45 years old.

Hi. Yes the back pain and frequent urination can indicate kidney problem. With your symptoms, I would advise the simple tests of WBC count , urine routine and microscopic and culture sensitivity tests, Blood urea and creatinine and sugar, ultrasonography of abdomen. These simple tests would help us diagnose.
