Suggest Treatment For Recurrent UTIs After Intercourse
Question: Hi, I have recurring UTIs after intercourse. I have my usual symptoms now (cloudy urine and odor, urgency). But this time, I also have blood in my urine. I have a 130 pm MD appointment with my GP tomorrow. Is it ok to wait until then? If not, would an 815 AM urgent care appointment be ok? I do not have any back or side pain, fever or chills. What could the blood in the urine indicate?
