What Causes Bloody Urination And A Rash On The Right Ankle?
I recently restarted musing allopurinol due to my prescription running out and miscommunication with the doctors staff in order to renew the prescription. Within 2 days I started urinating a large volume of blood with sever clotting. This went on for about 12 hours. I also developed a rash on the right ankle. Today I ve been recuperating and have been extremely tired. I m also taking chlorthalidone (diuretic). Which of these prescriptions are the likely cause of these symptoms?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In most cases this is 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 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 till you do tests. Also, avoid sexual intercourse and have 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.
