Hi, many thanks for the query!
You need to do- USG (Abdo-Pelvis), RFT, LFT, X-ray KUB, Urine (R/M).
Try to stop smoking & alcohol consumption.
Till reports come, take antispasmodics, pain killers, antacids, diuretics with your doctor's opinion.
Drink plenty of water so that at least 2 litres of urine is voided in 24 hrs.
Wish you a good health.
Take care.
Regards.
