What Causes Blood In Urine?
Question: I have been urinating blood with sizeable strands of coagulated blood since
About 1:30 pm thus afternoon. It is ongoing and always causes me mild pain
That keeps me running to the toilet. The only thing I have done is had a glass
of water with two tbsp og apple cider vinegar which stopped the hematuria
When I experienced 2 bouts of this problem within a couple of weks 7 months ago.
My urologist put me on an antibiotic the first occasion and after the second he inserted an instrument with camera into my penis and took pictures and found no evudebce of cancer. I took my daily 7.5 gems.Coumadin
