A member asked:

If blood in urine is a symptom of uti, does that mean your urine stream will be red?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: Urinary tract infections can cause urine that is normal looking, reddish, or cloudy. The urine certainly does not have to be red to mean infection.

Dr Pappas and another doctor agreed
