Question
A 13-year-old boy has been experiencing frequent lower back pain since a year ago after undergoing an appendectomy.
Answer
The boy’s lower back pain may be caused by trauma, urinary system issues (such as pain during urination, hematuria), or urinary tract stones. It is recommended to undergo an ultrasound examination to observe the condition of the kidneys and ureters. In terms of daily care, precautions should be taken to protect the lower back, maintain a balanced diet, and reduce the risk of recurrence.
