So today in the morning went to take a leak and had this immense pain in the urethra, did not think much about it.

Later in the afternoon same thing with the difference of blood coming out not much but blood non the less.

Went to the doctor, no high temp, no pain in abdomen or back.

So he just tells me that I probably passed a stone and just gave me pain meds and anti-inflammatory meds and to come back after 2 days.

Ngl I feel dismissed should I look for a second opinion?

Btw first time that this happens for me in my 29 years of life

So typically. A stone attack starts with immense pain in your flank/lower back. Blood in urine is "normal ". What i have done is when I feel the pain in my side from the stone and it becomes to the point im puking I go to the ER. Typically they do a CT scan and find out where and how big the stone is. Typically you get urine tested for infection. Also could get prescribed a medication called flowmax. Drink lots of water and the stone will move down from the kidney to the bladder then out. D...
