Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Recurrent urinary tract infection commonly due to dehydration and structural abnormalities.
2. Warfarin and presence of blood is common and needs to be stopped. Get urine examination for confirmation of urinary tract infection. Presence of blood in urine is not always due to urinary tract infection.
3. Based on urine examination culture and sensitivity is necessary for identification for appropriate antibiotic.
4. Take plenty of water. Urinary tract pyelogram is necessary to rule out structural abnormalities in urinary tract.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
