Q. What do I do if there are blood clots in urine with UTI?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
If you have been diagnosed with a urinary tract infection (UTI) that is accompanied by blood clots, it can be concerning. First and foremost, if you are experiencing any symptoms of pain or discomfort, it is important to seek medical attention right away.
In order for a doctor to determine the best course of treatment for your UTI, they will perform a urinalysis to check for signs of blood and other abnormal components in your urine. From there, they may also order additional tests such as imaging studies and/or cultures from the urine sample in order to make an accurate diagnosis. In some cases where the UTI could be associated with underlying conditions such as an enlarged prostate or kidney stones, other tests might also be needed.
Once the cause of the blood clotting has been determined by your doctor, he/she can provide you with appropriate treatments which may include antibiotics as well as increased fluid intake or dietary changes if necessary. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as drinking plenty of fluids (especially water) throughout the day and avoiding dehydration can help reduce further complications related to having this condition. Finally, trying different relaxation techniques such as yoga or meditation may help reduce stress on your body’s systems which contribute towards overall health maintenance and prevention of many illnesses including UTIs associated with blood clots in urine .
