I was diagnosed with a uti after a urine sample, taken one dose cipro (ciprofloxacin) and pyridium. i am urinating chunks of bloddy tissue. is this normal with uti?

No.: Passing "chunks of bloody tissue" is unusual enough that you should discuss it with your doctor. It is not typically seen in urinary tract infections.

Can occur: Hemorrhagic cystitis can be seen with a bladder infection. It's important to have a urinalysis with a microscopic exam and a follow up culture to make sure that there is no further blood in the urine and that the infection has cleared.
