Hello,

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
