Under Treatment For UTI After Kidney Stone Removal Surgery. Is It Serious To Have Blood In Urine?

I just had a kidney stone removed by surgery. I am under treatment for another UTI. I am doing a collection for a lab today and tomorrow. I have blood in my urine and it is sometimes brownish-red. There are also fleshy-looking bits in my urine.
Are these things normal after a surgery and infection, etc.?
(I also have an ovarian cyst that may be blocking the ovarian flow...waiting for ultrasound results.)

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Blood in the urine (hematuria) is a possible complication of kidney stones and renal surgery.It can also occur in urinary tract infections.

If the blood in the urine persists after you have completed treatment for the urinary tract infection then your doctor may ask for a repeat urine sample be sent to the lab for evaluation.
This would determine if the infection is resolved and confirm the presence of blood.

Blood tests assessing kidney function may also be required.

I hope this helps
