Urinary tract stones should be ruled out.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM

I have gone through your query. Episodic hematuria (blood in urine) can be symptom of kidney stones. Urine routine and renal ultrasound should be done to rule out this. Urine routine can give presence of macrohematuria or infection. Ultrasound will provide you an accurate picture. Blood routine and ESR should be done to rule out any associated inflammatory process also.

Garlic extract and echinacea extract is good for urinary infection. If infection coexist then it will be helpful.
In case of stones below 3 millimeter there is chance of expelling through urine by drinking lot of water.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
