A member asked:

I got my period while diagnosed with hematuria, is this normal, can it happen? started the antibiotic nitrofurantoin mono mcr today.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Urinary infection ?': Hematuria may occur from a urinary tract infection, and nitrofurantoin may treat the infection if the bacteria is sensitive to this antibiotic. Contamination of urine by menstrual blood may contaminate a urine specimen, and add blood to the specimen, which may not correctly come from a urine infection. See your gyn for additional testing if pain, frequency continues.
