Why There Is Brown Blood In The Urine?
Hello, I'm a 24 year old female and went to the emergency room the other night with severe back pain under my ribs and was starting to hurt in the front abdomen. They said I had blood in my urine but had diagnosed with thoracic spine strain. They prescribed me cyclobenzaprine and tramadol. Still in alot of pain, its been 2 days and its now hard to pee and a few drops of brown stuff was in the toilet and when I wiped there was brown on the tissue, almost like blood, just brown. Im wondering if I should go back to the e.r but what could it possibly be?

Hi,
This indicates possible bleeding in urethra, bladder or kidneys. In most cases this is caused by urinary infection or urinary stones so you should do urine analysis, urinoculture and kidneys ultrasound to rule these out. Also, vesicoureteral reflux may be possible cause which is anomaly of bladder but can be easily treated.
You should drink raspberry tea and plenty of water till you do tests. Also, avoid sexual intercourse and have keep good hygiene. You should reduce salt in your diet as well. In most cases this is self limiting but sometimes antibiotics are required and more invasive tests such as cystoscopy or J prothesis insertion.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards,
