I take blood pressure medication and cholesterol medication as well as medication for rheumatoid arthritis. I took fish oil capsules and found blood in my urine. I ate dark chocolate and found blood in my urine. Now I took aspirin for 3 days and found blood in my urine for almost a week, and after some urine blooding it appears that a clog comes out.

For the last 2 or 3 months I have been having sporadic episodes of blood in my urine. It is strange though because when it happens, it only happens once - then not again for a week or so! It is definitely not from any food that I am eating and I don't experience any pain. Normally my urine is very clear - very pale in color so when all of a sudden I get a red tinged one it is rather startling! I have spoken to my GP about it and he said to bring in a sample but so far I haven't managed to catch one with the color in it for him. I am not in any pain, I am obese and I do take paracetemal with codeine and diclofenic on prescription for arthritis.

Last month, about 10 days after I had my period, I realized a little bit of blood in my urine. Two days after, I also had some more amount of blood in my urine and I was worried that time. I went to the hospital any they tested my blood and urine but the results were fine. The doctors said it is just an infection and I had some tablets for 10 days. This month, I had my period normally and now I realized some blood again, 5 days after I finished with my period.

I got up to use the bathroom. After urinating I had pain in my lower right side of my stomach. As the morning went by, it started to get much worse. Then, my kidney on my left side started to hurt. So, I went to the doctor and they told me that I had blood in my urine. I didn't see it because you can only see it under a microscope. I'm so glad I caught it before it got much worse!

After having sex, the following morning there was blood in my urine. I was afraid to see my doctor because I was thinking he may tell me my prostate cancer had come back after radiation treatment twelve years ago. My urine has cleared up by the third day. I'm afraid.

Only today when I went to the toilet, I found traces of blood in the tissue roll and later after another 2 hours, I went to toilet again and this time I saw slight traces of fresh blood on the toilet paper and the 3rd time when I went to toilet again, there is none now.

I had a substantial amount of bright red blood in my urine in March, in August, and again in early October. There was no pain on urination, although I have been having pain in my lower left pelvis and across my lower left hip. It seems to be getting worse. I told my doctor in September, and he ordered blood tests and urine tests. I just had an ultrasound external and internal. I have not heard anything back yet and am very worried.

For the past week, I have had pains in the lower left side of my back, radiating to the lower stomach. I have been to the doctor, who found blood in my urine. I am waiting for the results and I am on my second round of antibiotics. I thought I strained a muscle at first. Every time I moved, the pain was so much worse. I have a duplex kidney on the left.

I had normal sex with my wife last night and then this morning there was a spot of blood on my sheets and dried blood on my penis. There was a sign of blood in my urine. My wife had no signs of bleeding. I have no pain this morning nor did I have last night.
