blood in urine

[tish76 0]

I am going to call doctor in the morning but today is my third day post op and i just started to notice a lil blood in my urine..I read up on it and it said some causes can be from certain medications like blood thinners, aspirin and penicilin...They did give me blood thinners twice while in the hospital but has anyone else experience this..thanks

Admittedly, I'm a big dumbass for bringing this up, but there isn't any other reason for blood to be in your urine, is there (period, tramautic catheter removal, kidney stones, etc)? I know you're not an idiot, but sometimes right after surgery we tend to lose some perspective on things.....so I thought I'd bring up some of the more simplistic things.

Having said that, if you've ruled out that kind of stuff, you probably need to see a doc pretty quickly. It's a big deal to have microscopic amounts of blood in your urine.....frank blood is something you need to get checked out fast! Good luck!

are you drinking enough to stay hydrated? blood in your urine can be a sign of a severe UTI. i know post op it can be hard to get enough fluids in to properly hydrate
