Suggest Treatment For Blood In Urine
Question: My husband had a little blood in his urine . he is 64 yrs old. had some back pain about 10 days ago. earlier today he said his urine was darkish.
Brief Answer:
Could be due to stone in kidney or ureter on Rt side .
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query .
Based on the facts that you have posted I think your husband has hematuria mostly due to stone either in kidney or ureter on Right side .
However he needs to consult qualified Urologist for clinical evaluation and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Routine urine test and urine culture
2) Ultrasound scanning of the abdomen and pelvis .This will also help to rule out enlarged prostate which is also one of the causes of hematuria at this age .
In the mean while give him antibiotics like Cefixime along with urinary aantiseptic like Nitrofurantoin and pain killers like Cyclopalm twice daily.
Ensure he drinks more water to keep his urine dilute .
Further treatment will depend upon the results of these tests and final diagnosis,
Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you haave more questions I shall be happy to address the same.
Thanks and Regards.
