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.
What Causes Dark Brown Blood In Urine And Frequent Urination?
Dark brown blood in urine, menstrual cramps, frequent urination, brown vaginal discharge. Am i pregnant? I am a 39 yrs healthy female. I noticed dark brown blood in my urìne for 4 days now. I have also noticed a light brown vaginal discharge and am 8 days due for my period.
In most cases, this is a sign of uroinfection or kidneys stones. This is mainly self limiting and doesnt 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 a 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.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
