What Causes Painful And Brown Colored Urination?

I went to e.r. June 4, 2017 with pain and passing brown urine, had ct scan , gave me morphine and I waited for report on scan. While I was waiting, I needed to go to bathroom so they just told me to go, did not strain urine or anything. I passed a lot of bright red blood was sent home to follow up with my urologist in a couple of days. It has been 3 weeks now, I have not been in bad pain again but the dr, says there is a small amount of blood in my urine when it is checked by dipstick. However, I always have that so doesn t really tell us for sure. I wonder if I may have passed the 5 ml stone in the er when there was so much blood.

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
These symptoms are suggestive of uroinfection and this is common in your age and usually is manifested with pain during urination, fever and changes in urination frequency. Also, blood traces may be present in urine which can have odour or colour change. Other common cause are urinary stones. Diagnosis is established by doing urine analysis and urinoculture and after this antibiotic treatment may be started if necessary. If there is negative urine analysis then you should do ultrasound of kidneys to check for stones. You should drink plenty of fluids and take raspberry tea or juice to promote urination.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
