Dear- First of all I want to thank you for using HCM. Blood in the urine can be secondary to multiples causes. In both sexes, it could be an urinary track infection,bladder lesions ,kidney stones and kidney masses or cysts. In male, you need to add prostatitis or prostate cancer. Medications rarely produce blood in the urine and those that you are taking are not related to this. Medication as coumadin and Plavix can produce it. It is important to get a medical advise, drink a lot of water to keep the urine flow and avoid clots blocking the output.
I hope my advise has been helpful and feel free to contact me for any other medical question.
