My husband Showed positive for blood in urine the Dr suspects it to be a kidney stone. He has been taking flomax for about a month with nothing happening. No pain, was not in pain at the time of appointment. A week before he went to the Dr he had pain in lower abdominal. After nothing to eat for about 24 hours period and only consumed 8 beers Also he ate a big greasy burger, after the 8 beers.It was about 12 hours after the beers he had the burger. He also has had bouts with gout. He hasn't had any of that for about a year.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Hematuria (Blood in urine) demands many investigations and the underlying causes are also in Numbers, If I have a chance to be a your doctor then I would first try to find out the cause and the first possibility would be a stone, the antibiotic wont stop the bleeding, the prime task would be to detect the location of stone and the size of stone then comes how to get it out, and that is all depend upon the imaging study, drinking lot of water some time not just stops the bleeding but some time expel the stone out, small the stone big the symptoms easy to deal result comes very soon excellent prognosis have nice day.
