Hello,

When you say it comes out in clots, do you mean that there are blood clots? Can you explain further?

Also do you have any ongoing health problems or take any medications, including over the counter ones such as ibuprofen ?

Brief Answer:
Information.

Detailed Answer:
I will assume you mean that the urine looks like it is cloudy or chunky.

I recommend having a urinalysis test to check for signs of infection but also to check for albumen/protein in the urine as this can make it look cloudy.

However, if it is red, then do go in urgently to be seen.

Some sediment can occur in the urine normally, and if your urine was not dilute, I am wondering if that is what you were seeing. If it returns though, do go in to the doctor for the urinalysis.

I hope this information helps.

Brief Answer:
Good plan.

Detailed Answer:
That would be the best thing.
