What Causes Blood In Urine?
Question: Dr. XXXX,
In the past two days I have seen urine that is "darker" than normal . Not cloudy and has no smell.
Today I noticed a clot of blood passed in my urine. No pain or burning or discomfort.
I have not suffered any recent traumatic injury to my genetials or had unprotected sex.
The only drugs I take are simvistatin and androgel.
What is causing this symptom ? And should I be concerned ?
What Should I do next?
