What Causes Intense Lower Abdominal Pain And Blood Spotting In The Urine?

Dear Dr. Rynne, I have throbbing, aching pain in my lower abdomen and my back. I also have pelvic and rectal pain. It feels like my rectum and bladder are dropping down. In addition, I constantly have microscopic blood in my urine, and I ve been having six or seven UTIs a year, for the past few years. I have to strain to urinate and my urine only comes out a little at a time. The pain is worse in the early morning hours, when I m lying down, and it keeps me from sleeping. I ve been wearing a full body posture brace to take the pressure off my back. There are more symptoms, but these are the most immediate. Thank you.
