What Does Blood In Urine When Suffering From Ulcerative Colitis Suggest?

My daughter, 20, was in ER this weekend with severe abdominal pain. (2nd time in 4 weeks). First time, they told her it was most likely ovarian cyst issues. This time, they did a CT scan and found most of her organs slightly enlarged and her intestines inflamed & suspect crones or ulcerative colitis. She s in a different state away at college, and we re having a heck of a time getting in to see any specialists. They also diagnosed an UTI and put her on ABs. Today she says she has blood in her urine and her stool. Not sure if this is due to catheterization and the colitis or not. She says she feels ok, but is also taking pain meds. Should I have her go back to ER or urgent care, or is this par for the course. I forgot to ask her about volume of blood. She did say both were frank though, not dark or tarry. I know it s hard to diagnosis or treat over email....but any suggestions?

Hi,

It's treatment is only in the ER for a few days! UTI takes antibiotics, blood culture, urine culture reports will suggest / depending upon size of cyst can tell need of surgery or might be rupture that can lead all conditions you mention, biopsy of intestine will tell diagnosis if needed!

When she get cured she will need strong immune system too, make sure she learns breathing exercises which will help in her future or prevent any relapse too. USG, HCG, blood urea, Nitro, creat, LFT, RFT, X-rays or biopsy may be needed in her case.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sunny Madar, General & Family Physician
