Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a 73-year old lady in fairly good health. I certainly do not feel my age. Lately, whenever I urinate, I have noticed bright red blood on the toilet paper. I pass water many times more than I am used to and I was wondering what the blood could mean? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, please. Thank you. Joanne
Do a complete blood cell count and urine test. Urine sample test and microscopic examination is helpful for further diagnosis. After urine culture test start a start a antibiotics under doctor's suggestion if infection is present.
Take more water to dilute a urine and flush out a bacteria...... Maintain proper hygiene... Avoid spicy food and alcohol drinking.. Frequent urination . Cranberry juice is helpful in uti. Urine alkalytic agent is helpful in bladder infection.
I hope my guidance helpful to you.. Take care. Thank you.
