I had a 6 mm kidney stone earlier and suffered severe pain with it. After drinking a lot of water, the stone passed into the urinary bladder and eventually the pain disappeared. Now after 6 months, I have dark colored urine and my report shows 15 to 20 red blood cells per high power field, but I have no pain and no fever. The urine culture report is negative. What might be the problem?
