What causes blood in urine?
Answered by
infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thank you for the query.
Blood in urine is usually caused by urinary tract infection. With this issue you should also have frequent urinating, burning while urinating. Slight fever can be present.
If there is no infection, sometimes blood in urine is the first symptom of bladder cancer.
I suggest you to start with urine analysis and urine culture. If no infection will be found, you should consult urologist and have cystoscopy done.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards
.
Detailed Answer:
Well, it wont be a good idea to treat yourself without proper diagnostics. Moreover, in case of infection, you need an antibiotic (Ciprofloxacine for example) with is prescription only.
At home you should drink plenty of mineral water and start cranberries supplementation. But this should be an addition to antibiotic treatment.
So doctors visit is unavoidable.
Regards.

MD History: 55 yo female. Blood in urine July 2011 (Gross hematuria).No other symptoms (no frequent urination, no pain, no weight loss etc.)After consults with GP/CT Scan/referral to urologist (scoped) -confirmed presence of bladder tumor.

Antibiotics appeared to help after 24 hours. However, after 48 hours--it was clear that they were not helping. The it became VERY painful to urinate last 3 days). Less pain today. My question--what am I probably looking at here? Is this a recurrence (already?)? Is this a premature shedding of the surgical scar (5 weeks post surgery?). Why the significant pain with voiding? Is this a micro bleed?---If so, would they be able to cauterize it in an office visit (not in a surgery suite)?
Thank you for any advice you might have
