Hi, it appears that you had urinary tract infection only, but it might be along with the stone in the uriter, which might be causining frank hematuria. If it is micro hematuria, it could be due to residual infection. So don't worry about the blood in urine . You will be fine soon after consulting the urologist. Thank you.
