Brief Answer:
Are you taking any other medications? Has you urination changed?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this blood in your urine and all the inconveniences this has caused you. The common causes of blood in urine are infections and kidney stones. In a good number of persons, this is a transient occurrence with spontaneous resolution.

If your urination habit has changed(cloudy, frequent and painful urination in small volumes), I will recommend that you get tested for a possible urinary tract infection. If there is no other symptom, then I will recommend you monitor only as of now to see if it persists. If it persists, then we shall consider more tests to understand what is going on.

Your medications are not the cause of this. If you are taking any other drugs, please report to me for review and more insights as we strive to identify the cause and treat accordingly.

For now, drink much water. Monitor your urine and report any future concerns for review.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
