Question 1

what does it mean for an elderly man with prostate problems if passing blood clots in urine?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: Gross hematuria can be from many things, benign and not so benign.  Things to rule out include bph, bleeding disorders, infections, kidney stones, and cancer.  He should see a urologist and get fully worked up.

Question 2

i am not excessive flatulence. i been passing blood clots in urine. my stomach has no pain.

Accepted Answer

Bladder symptoms: You need to see your health provider ASAP to be checked for a urinary infection, which sounds like the probably cause of your symptoms.  The GI symptoms may be unrelated, since increased gas/flatulence seldom accompanies a urinary infection.

Question 3

husband had kidney transplant 10 yrs ago. he is 66 yrs old. fri he started passing blood clots in his urine. what could be going on?

Accepted Answer

See kidney doctor: Blood in the bladder can be due to tumors, bladder stones or an enlarged inflamed prostate. This needs to be evaluated by the transplant nephrologist immediately.

Question 4

my husband  had prostrate surgery in march 2011 and has now started passing black blood clots in his urine?

Accepted Answer

Please be evaluated: Your husband should be seen by his urologist. This is likely a benign, and non cancerous, concern but one that should be evaluated with a cystoscopy at the very least.

Question 5

what may cause male to pass blood and large blood clots in urine with burning?

Accepted Answer

Many reasons: Passage of blood in the urine has many causes. The most common causes include an infection, stones or trauma. But may also be due to medications, cancer and congenital malformations or acquire malfunction.

Question 6

blood clots in urine have stent from narrow ureter due to tumor. clots passing are painful and blocks my urine. what could be the cause?

Accepted Answer

Several causes.: The presence of a stent in the urinary tract can cause irritation to the lining of the ureter and bladder causing bleeding. Tumors, besides obstructing, can bleed if they cause any erosion of the ureteral lining. If you are passing large clots and blood, a known risk of stents is the development of a communication between a blood vessel and the ureter. Please see your physicians for evaluation.

Question 7

what would blood in urine look like? would blood clots in urine float and all be different in shape and would you have pain when passing these clots? and would it be possible to have normal yellow urine color with blood clots?

Accepted Answer

: Blood in the urine would look like blood but there can be trace blood and it would be found with urinalysis. Blood clots could happen with kidney stones and yea there would be pain. If you have kidney issues contact your doctor.

Question 8

can radiation prostatitis cause blood clots in urine?  i had 44 imrt, neurogenic bladder, self cathetarize, perineum pain and pass blood clots when self catheterizing. urologist ruled out bladder cancer, stones, uti.  getting a second cystoscopy soon?

Accepted Answer

: From what you've described it sounds like your urologist is managing this situation well and a second cystoscopy is warranted.  Radiation to the prostatic and pelvic region can be associated with blood in the urine, but it warrants further work up given your history of prostate cancer.

Question 9

blood clots in urine.. what is the usual cause and your most suspected cause. wondering from yalls experience?

Accepted Answer

: A significant bleeding from trauma or a bleeding lesion anywhere in the urinary tract (kidneys, ureters, bladder, prostate in man) can be the cause of blood clot in the urine. For a lady, we have to make sure the bleeding is from the urinary tract not from the genital tract, i.e. uterus and vagina.

Question 10

what causes fever and blood clots in urine?

Accepted Answer

Infection?: Probably this is a sign of an infection in the urinary tract, or possibly a stone.  I advise you to see your doctor as soon as possible.
