What Causes Blood In Urine And Stools?

I am a 72 year old healthy female. Two days ago I started having blood in my urine. Today about 9 hours ago I was unable to urinate. Finally have urinated a few times after trying very hard and I fill the stool with blood. That seems to becoming better but I cannot urinate.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Blood in urine/stool is commonly caused by severe UTI infection. It may also be indicative of kidney infection, kidney stone, some genetic disorder (sickle cell anaemia), caeco-rectal cancer or due to some drug interaction.

Stop taking all medications. Visit ER, get physically examined. You should get CBC, Urinalysis, Stool & Urine (R/E & C/S) along with Imaging tests done.

Your treatment (medications or surgery) will depend upon the factor detected that is causing the symptoms.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Nupur K, General & Family Physician
