Brief Answer:
What drugs are you on? Do you take blood thinners?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this blood you have noticed in your urine. I will like to know the medications you are currently taking as this could be a possible cause. For now, report the drugs to me and also monitor your urine over the coming days. We will review together and make the decision to see a doctor or not.

Be calm, relaxed and know there is no immediate threat to life and the reason why we can settle to gather more information before rushing to conclusions.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and hope to hear from you at your earliest convenience.
