Blood In Urine. On Anti Inflammatory Dyclophenac For Arthritis. Should Be Concerned ?
Hi I have just today noticed blood in my urine after working physically harder than usual. I am taking anti inflammatory dyclophenac for arthritis in some of my joints ( one a day). I remember my father having the same when he was working extremely hard, he said it was nothing! Should I be worried or will it clear on its own

hi,
You should be concerned if there is blood in urine. It may be a sign of some underlying disease. Most commonly it is urinary infection and stone. But if you are elderly person and a smoker, possibility of bladder cancer should always be kept in mind. Blood in urine after heavy exercise is a possibility. And it usually resolves on its own. But you need urine examination, kidney function test, ultrasound of the abdomen. Consult a urologist.
