Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My brother had blood in his urine and blood clots as well. He is on blood thinners and will be having a CT Scan of his kidneys and bladder on August 3rd and some sort of cystoscopy (sp) on the 8th. Is the urologist possibly looking for signs of bladder cancer? He did not and does not have any pain when he urinates and the doctors have had him stop taking his blood thinners and at the moment is no longer seeing any blood in his urine
In most cases, this is a sign of uroinfection or kidneys stones. This is mainly self limiting and doesn't require any specific treatment and you should just be patient and have fluids to promote urination.
Less likely it may indicate possible bleeding in urethra, bladder or kidneys from popped vessel or some other cause. If this continues you should do urine analysis, urinoculture and kidneys ultrasound to rule these main causes out.
You should drink raspberry tea and plenty of water till you do tests. Also, avoid sexual intercourse and have to keep good hygiene. You should reduce salt in your diet as well since this could lead to increased risk of urinary stone formation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
