What Causes Blood In Urine While On Letrozole?

I am on letrozole following surgery and radiation for breast cancer per Duke Cancer Center. Started on Sept 28. Tonight I saw blood in my urine. I have a stitch type discomfort in my left waist area which started about the same time as the medicine. Help! I am a retired RN Case Manager.

Hello,

The most possible reason for blood in urine while on Letrozole is drug induced side effect with alteration in urine ph.

Should immediately discuss the same with your doctor and start drinking plenty of liquids.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
