I have just passed 5 stones of varying sizes my doctor has not finished analyzing m as yet. I still have blood in my urine, although no severe pain, except soreness I seem sto have elastic type fluidy mucus type discharge in my urine. Is normal when should I expect to clear if indeed, all stones have now passed. Thank

Bleeding can continue for several days up to a few weeks depending on the circumstances. The mucus is usually from irritation or inflammation of the urethra and this also slowly disappears. If not better in a few weeks, you may want to ask your physician.

Analyzing the stones is a good first step, but be sure to also ask your physician about 24 hour urine testing and preventive therapy if you are interested.
