I would say "of course". Kidney stones do lots of damage inside the kidney whether causing pain or not. They are sharpish multi-faceted stones. Personally, I would seek removal of the stones ASAP. What's stopping you?

very normal so long as the stone has not passed, blood in urine means the stone is moving. if seeing the blood gives you a scare or start to causes any burning when you urinate use an over the counter product called AZO

Hello, I am a student nurse and from what I have learned pain from kidney stones depends on the size of the stones. Small kidney stones may pass through the urinary tract on its own, causing little to no pain. Large kidney stones are the ones that cause pain because they get stuck. Mainly flank pain. Other symptoms of kidney stones are: constant need to urinate, pain when urinating, inability to urinate, and/or urine that smells bad. A person with kidney stones could also experience fever, chills, nausea, and vomiting. The treatment depends on the type of stone you have, but preventing future stone formation is important. Drinking water, lowering sodium intake, animal protein, calcium or oxalate in one’s food. Although kidney stones can be a reason for hematuria, there are other reasons that can cause hematuria like prostate problems, infection, and hepatitis. Some of these can be serious. I would strongly recommend that one sees their physician regarding hematuria.
