I just had my kidney stones blasted with I believe sound waves. After 10 days, my urine now smells similar to the spray that a cat uses to mark their territory! Sometimes my urine is also dark red. While my doctor said I might occasionally see red in my urine, she didn t mention the development of this odor. Please advise.
HelloThanks for your query, based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have undergone Lithography for kidney stone last week and new have Hematuria and passing smelly urine. This is common to happen after lithography. Hematuria is due to trivial injury to the kidney by source of energy used for blasting the stone. This usually gets resolved within a week by Chat Doctor. As regards smelly urine due to fragmentation or cracks in the stone after blasting it the bacteria concentrated in the sides (Center) of the stone are liberated, and they cause infection of the urinary system (UTI) and there are basic constituents of the stone like phosphates, oxalate are freed in urine which becomes smelly. Both these problems are common after lithography and get cured with taking antibiotics for a week and
