Should A Urologist Be Consulted For Blood In Urine?

I am baffled as I have extremely low osthoporosis in conjunction with spinal stinosis (L-4, L-5) now affecting my hip with pain, after falling into a 4"deep hole with a manhole cover stickin ng up, cracking my rt. Knee in half, not realizing what it did to my back. This happened 20 years ago. Now since I am very small boned and petite I am at a very high risk for fractures. Ever since I was nine yrs. old and got accute nephritis for 3 full mos. till arithromicin came out in 1956, which cured me. My Problem is at every pill I have tried for my osthoporosis puts traces blood in my urine and I feel that before taking all of the newer pills I seem to do better with the older ones that donot have this side effect for me! Do you suggest me seeing a urologist to see what is affecting my kidney's so I can find the right pill for my condition?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I think you should consult an endocrinologist to see what type of medicine you can get that does not affect your kidneys. You should also have your kidney function tested and do a urinalysis at either your own doctor or at a nephrologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
