I seem to have blood in my urine, or at least it seems to be quite red. I know I have kidney stones but have had them for many years and have been told to leave them alone unless they start being painful, which they are not. But a bit worried about the blood which has only just started?
HelloThanks for query. You are known to have stone in kidney since long time and now getting hematuria. The hematuria suggests that the stone is spiky and rubbing against the delicate mucus membrane of collecting system. If left untreated it will cause further damage to the kidney and cause more bleeding and infection. I would suggest you to get it removed. Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.1) Urine routine and culture.2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis3) Intravenous Paleography. Further treatment as regards modality will depend upon the results of findings of these tests Chat Doctor.
