Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

No, H. pylori has nothing to do with the blood in urine.

It only causes infection in the stomach. It locate only in the stomach. And its pathogenicity is also limited in the stomach.

So there is no question of blood in the urine.

I suspect you must be having UTI, urinary tract infection. This can cause loose stool and burning and blood in the urine.

I suggest you to do urine culture, sensitivity and Grams staining from the urine specimen. Taking treatment according to report will cure you rapidly.

Please take good care of local hygiene and plenty of water can help you to flush out your bacteria.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
