Thanks to everyone who replied. I tried the ward but they told me to go through 111 which I did and eventually spoke to a very nice female doctor. In a nutshell she said you won’t die from blood in the urine, but you could die from leaving off the thinners 🥴🤷♀️ …. Basically it will settle …. And I must say it seems to be improving a few hours after the thinners have made it bloody again. Fingers crossed 🫰🏻 Xx
Read your discharge letter there might be a number to call if you have symptoms. If not phone your practise and when you eventually get through explain your predicament and say you wish to speak to a Dr. They might have had letters by now from the hospital and can give you some advice.Or 111.
Im probably not much help but I just wanted to answer you as I know how horrible it can be when you are worrying about something and can't sleep. My thoughts would be...... To try and call the ward where you were kept in overnight (try hospital switchboard and explain what procedure you had to get put through to correct ward). Or try contacting NHS 111 and explain the situation to them. They will hopefully get a doctor to call you back.
I have just been in hospital for a ureteroscopy as a day patient. However I was kept in overnight because the catheter bag was so bloody. I’m on riveraxaban and as instructed left it off 2 days prior. The bleeding eased off and I was allowed home and to start the blood thinners again. A few hours later my wee was bloody again. I tried ringing my doctor but he isn’t available until today. It eased off a bit again and I took the blood thinner and once again started bleeding some hours later. I’m thinking I shouldn’t take the blood thinner …. Has anyone else found a problem with them? I will try my dr again today and you know how difficult that is.
