What Does Blood In Urine While On Treatment For Kidney Stones Indicate?
I went to the emergency room yesterday and was diagnosed with a kidney stone. Was given medication for pain and to break up the stone . This afternoon when I went to the bathroom and I noticed there was blood in my urine again. I have an appointment with the urologist tomorrow. is it ok to wait till I see the doctor?
Blood in the urine is due to the irritation of the mucosa of ureter or bladder by the stones. It is nothing to be worried. You can mention this at your appointment with a urologist as scheduled.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Lekshmi Rita Venugopal
