What Causes Blood In Urine After Taking Ovex?

I had a small brown worm in the toilet when I urinated 4 days ago, I didn t check the bowl before going so I don t know if it came from me. I saw my pharmacist and he gave me a single dose tablet of Ovex which contains mebendazole. I haven t seen anymore worms so far, however, I did have white clumps and threads on my stools the next day after taking the tablet. I ve experienced anul and vaginal itching at night, certainly since taking the tablet, however this has happened before I did so on occasion. I have had disturbed sleep and clench my teeth at night, I thought this may have been due to stress and hot weather. Now 4 days after taking the tablet I have blood in my urine which indicates and infection or a reaction to the tablet. Will antibiotics affect the Ovex and put back my worm treatment? Is it time to see a urologist to sort out the worms and the, possibly, secondary infection? Any ideas? Thanks

Hi,

In most cases, this is a sign of uroinfection or kidneys stones. This is mainly self-limiting and doesn't require any specific treatment and you should just be patient and have fluids to promote urination.

Less likely it may indicate possible bleeding in urethra, bladder or kidneys from a popped vessel or some other cause.

If this continues you should do urine analysis, urinoculture and kidneys ultrasound to rule these main causes out.

You should drink raspberry tea and plenty of water until you do tests. Also, avoid sexual intercourse and have to keep good hygiene.

You should reduce salt in your diet as well since this could lead to increased risk of urinary stone formation.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
