Could Recurring UTIs With Blood Clots In Urine Be Serious?
Yes. I have a 6 year history of frequent UTIs and my urologist prescribed an antibiotic that I can use as needed. Lately, my UTI s seem to be getting worse (more frequent and passing blood clots). It use to be just a few drops of blood during some UTIs, now I m passing several small blood clots with each one. Is this normal or could it be a symptom of something else? YYYY@YYYY
