68 Years Old. Noticed Small Blood Clots In Urine. What Do You Suggest?
Question: male 68 years old small blood clots in urine past 2 days in morning beginning of flow. What do you suggest?
Hi,
Thanks for your query to XXXXXXX
The most common causes of blood in the urine are infection, stone or tumour in the urinary tract.
You need to undergo urine analysis, urine culture and ultrasound scan of the abdomen.
Based on the results, we can proceed.
Blood in the urine is not a disease itself - but a symptom of a disease - which needs to be identified.
Blood thinners can also cause blood in urine but the above causes need to be ruled out.
Hope this helps, Kindly get back for doubts if any.
Regards
DR GS
