Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for writing to XXXXXXX and with special reference to me.
Common reasons for blood in urine are stone in the urinary tract or infection in the bladder.
Since u r known to form stones, it is the first possibility.
I would advice you to undergo urine examination, urine culture and sensitivity, Ultrasound scan as well.
Till the results are available, kindly take plenty of oral fluids like water, fruit juices and coconut water.
Kindly XXXXXXX your family doctor and take simple antibiotics till the results are available.
With the results, we can proceed.
Hope i answered your query, kindly get back for doubts if any.
Regards
Dr GS
