My husband has a history of kidney stones. He has had trouble the last month or so. First he had a stone that moved from kidney to bladder then he didn t see it pass. He has had a few times since that he is urinating blood. Should he see a Dr. and is consuming about 6 cups of coffee a day bad for kidney stones.
HelloThanks for query. Your husband has kidney stone one month back and now has hematuria. The hematuria that he has could be due to spiky stone in bladder that is causing injury to bladder mucosa giving rise to hematuria. 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 pelvisFurther treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis. If the stone is bigger and unlikely to pass down smoothly through urethra he may need to undergo endoscopic procedure of crushing the stone what is called as (Cystolithotripsy). Consuming more coffee will not cause him to have more kidney stones Chat Doctor.
