What Is The Reason For Some Bloody Tissues That Float In The Urine?

Every time I urinate I see skin tissue,(sometimes bloody) floating in the toilet. I have had Kidney stones removed a little less than a year ago. I feel a little discomfort. I gave a urine sample to the doctor. The results were, inflamation. What is going on here?
