A member asked:

I had kidney stones removed and a stent put in, is it normal to bleed? i had a hysterectomy 4years ago, no periods since. could it be the stent?

Stones and Stents: The bleeding you are noticing may be coming from your bladder and that would be expected if the procedure was some recently. A stent placement should not cause bleeding from the uterus or cervix.

Yes: The irritation from the procedure and the stent can cause bleeding. A little blood goes a long way in the urine and is quite normal in these circumstances. It will resolve when the stent is removed.
