What Causes Lower Abdomen Pain With Positive For Leukocytes?

Hello,
I have had lower abdomen pain off and on for about two weeks. I have not felt sick to my stomach. The last two nights I awoke and had to vomit. I have a history of UTIs and took a home test today and the leukocytes were positive but negative for nitrates. I do not have a fever but I am very tired. I am a 48 year old female and had my gallbladder removed ten months ago. I weigh 150 lbs and am 5ft 3in.
Thank you. Jen.
