Blood in urine, post lithotripsy

Stents

Hello All,

I had a 7mm stone pulverized 4 days ago by laser lithotripsy and a stent put in. The stent is due to be removed by the doctor in 4 days.

I am drinking my 3 liters of water a day, taking my flomax and the other med that is typically given (can't remember name off hand).

I am still passing quite a bit of blood when I urinate. Is this fairly common at this stage? Or should it be clearing up by now? I have also passed quite a few clots since the procedure, although that seems to have slowed down.

Thanks in advance!
