What Causes Blood In Urine?

In February 2017 I experienced a Green Laser procedure because of BPH. Everything seems fine until May when I experience blood in my urine. My Dr conducted a cystoscopy and found some stones. He was able to extract some but one, which I passed when I urinated. Lately I have been urinated blood (red) every time I walk more that two miles. It takes several hours for the urine to be clear again. My Dr has prescribed Finasteride as a solution for this problem. It has not work. My GP has recommended that I stop taking the aspirine (5mg) I take for my heart.

Hello,my name is dr.Dorina Gurabardhi.I understand your concern.
Symptoms of a kidney stone include flank pain (the pain can be quite severe) and blood in the urine (hematuria).
I suggest you to do an ultrasoud,and maybe a ct scan for confirmation of the diagnosis.
Meanwhile some advices that I can give to you are:
-Dehydration is a major risk factor for kidney stone formation so stay hydrated
-diet is also very important
I suggest you to consult your nephrologyst about treatment depending on you condition.
Hope my answer was helpful.If you have any other question Ill be glad to help.
