Hello. Welcome to hcm
Firstly i am more worried about hepatitis C. It is a condition which can have impact lifelong. You need to take treatment and later regular follow ups to see if you have chronic hepatitis C.
As you are getting recurrent UTI, it is better to get culture of urine done before starting antibiotics. Also, immune system should be checked.
Blood pressure and irregular bleeding can be managed in out patient and not worrisome
All the best
