I recently had a urine test that showed RBC 23 HPF, and I'm a bit concerned. I did an ultrasound and X-Ray KUB, and both came back normal. Been experiencing a burning sensation when I pee. I tried some homeopathy medicine for a month, and the results looked normal, but then another urine test a month later still showed RBC 23 HPF. What could be going on? I'm really worried and could use some advice.

The presence of red blood cells (RBC) in the urine can indicate various conditions such as urinary tract infection, kidney stones, or inflammation in the urinary tract. Since your ultrasound and X-Ray KUB results were normal, it's important to address the burning sensation in your urine. I recommend taking a course of antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily for 7-10 days to treat any possible urinary tract infection that may be causing the symptoms. Additionally, you can take Phenazopyridine 200mg three times a day for 2 days to help relieve the burning sensation. It's also important to stay well-hydrated and avoid irritants such as caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation by a urologist may be necessary.

My dad has a 25mm stone in his right kidney and a 13mm stone in the left one but his creatinine levels and kidney function are normal. Since he also has heart issues, is there any way to get rid of the stones with just medicines or does he definitely need surgery?
A 25mm and 13mm kidney stone with normal renal function may sometimes be managed medically, but due to heart issues, surgical options like RIRS or PCNL need cardiac clearance first.
