What Could Be Wrong Having Blood In Urine, Pain In Urethra While Urinating?
My female friend (age 55-64) has slight tinge of blood in the urine (on toilet paper, not in toilet bowl that can be visibly seen), an insatiable need to urinate, pain in urethra area when urinating, pain in the right side toward the back....what is wrong? She has no insurance and is drinking lots of green tea, ginger root tea, etc. trying to flush out whatever it is.

Hi. All the symptoms are suggestive of Urinary tract infection with a probability of stone on the right side. This needs at least a urine test and sonography and a coverage by an antibiotic. Home-made preparation will not help cure he infection part. They can just alleviate symptoms.
