Hi,
I understand your concern.
Having blood in urine is suggestive for :
- stone being still there and is lacerating the mucosa. Urogenital ultrasound is advised to evaluate its current condition.
- urinary tract infection (UTI) to be confirmed by urine culture.
Please increase water intake until you see your doctor for further evaluation.
All the best!
