Is It Normal To Drip Blood From Penis After Passing A Kidney Stone?
My husband passed a kidney stone this afternoon and is now dripping blood from his penis. Is this normal? And when should I be concerned enough to take him to the doctor? We do not have insurance so if we can avoid it without any health risk that would be the best.

hi,
The stone has probably traumatized his urethra. Application of tight pressure and an ice pack is all that is needed. Do not allow him to strain for urine. let him hold his bladder for few hours to allow healing. If bleeding is continuous and is not related to urination, a urologist consultation is needed.
All the best.
