A kidney stone, I think, came out tonight!

For a little more than a year I've had very painful experiences. I had
blood in my urine and problems urinating. A few months back I had X-
Rays and a few tests involving the bladder. The only thing they could
find is a 13mm gallbladder stone. No kidney stone detected. Two weeks
ago I went through a cystoscopy that could not detect anything wrong.
The urologist gave me a medication named FORMAL. I've taken it daily
in the last two weeks.

Tonight I went to the public washroom when feeling extreme pain in the
penis. About 10 drops of urine came out. I drank some water and went
back. This time I could feel muscles I've never felt before working
intensively. All of sudden I feel like something opening up in the tip
of the penis. I looked down just on time and saw a stone in the
"rubber net" in the urinal! I took it and put in a bottle to take
photos of it and show it to the doctor.

The stone is 8mm to 5mm. Surprisingly, the coming out and the
afterwards are not that painful. It's the days before that were.

Sorry about the quality of the photos, but it gives you an idea. It
looks like ET!

Should I bring them to my general physician who referred me to my
urologist or to the urologist himself?

Do you think it's possible that the cystoscopy played a role in the
coming out of this stone?

How is it possible that this stone was undetected by X-Ray? Possibly
its chemical composition?

Could it be a fragment of a gallbladder stone?

The medication I've been taking is actually FLOMAX.

From Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_stone

"Patients who are to be treated non-surgically, may also be started on
an alpha adrenergic blocking agent (such as Flomax, Uroxatral,
terazosin or doxazosin), which acts to reduce the muscle tone of the
ureter and facilitate stone passage. "
