This is a very tricky one as you need to consider the Western diagnosis in order to come to the correct answer. These are pretty classic urolithiasis symptoms, which is considered a mass. However, I can agree with you that abdominal pain makes for a difficult answer choice, so I have removed that choice and put in Lumbago instead. The key with choosing TCM Illnesses, is that you have to choose the two that are the most pressing. In this case, the masses need to be dispersed in order to help the stranguria. The pain is secondary and is due to the main TCM Illnesses. Let me know if this helps!
