Is E Coli Infection Causing Blood Clots In Urine?

I recently got very sick. At first I felt like I had a bladder infection, because it was uncomfortable to urinate. An hour later, I noticed blood clots in my urine and the discomfort continue to worsen. Within 2 hours my urine went from being normal color to solid red and I was in excruciating pain during urination. The doctor put me on antibiotics and sent the sample for a culture/sensitivity test. It tested positive for ecoli. I am wondering if even though I am feeling much better, do I need to seek follow up care to ensure there isn't damage to my kidney, etc.

Hello,

It is always good to follow up, and I don't think you will much to worry after the visit. It is just a reassuring visit as your infection has already been resolved, and well treated in time.

Yes, E. coli is one of the main culprits of urinary tract infections. It causes bleeding in urine too, along with other symptoms of infection like pain and urgency to urinate.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
