Suggest Treatment For Traces Of Blood In Urine

Posted on Tue, 15 Sep 2015

Question: Hello, I was wondering if having tea colored urine in the morning is bad. I have been seeing a urologist cause I've had a trace of blood in my urine. He did a ct scan without contrast and looked in my bladder with the camera and everything looks good.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query ,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have trace of blood in urine (Hematuria)

I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem.
1) Do you have any other urinary symptoms like burning urination ,frequency,urgency etc?
2) Are you menstruating when yo noticed hematuria?

The blood in urine could be due to UTI.

Please get your routine urine test and urine culture done to find out the organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to.

Please take broad spectrum antibiotics like Cefixime along with urinary antiseptic like Nitrofurantoin twice daily and urine alkalizer thrice daily .Later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report.

Get the prescription of medicines from your family Physician.

Ensure to drink more water .To keep your urine dilute.

Since your C.T scan and endoscopic examination (Cystoscopy) are reported to be normal you need not worry at all.
