Yes - takes me back to when I was younger. I’d keep a sample to show the GP - not only bloody, but with long strands of darker tissue suspended within.
Not pretty, but no-one seemed unduly concerned and anti-biotic generally cleared it up.

Can I also suggest that you don't try to let a UTI clear up on it's own in future.

Had this a lot as a much younger woman. Although worrying to see I was assured it was part of the infection. Hope you get the same reassurance.

Yes. But antibiotics cleared it up quickly. Try not to worry but obviously go back to GP if meds don’t work.

Yep me! It's a bit of a shock. My GP wasn't particularly bothered first time but, when it happened again, she referred me to the urology clinic. All was fine.

I have had awful UTI for a week..as per..was loathe to have medication.
Spoke to doc at 4pm yesterday, she prescribed trimethoprim.
As I came off the phone and went to the loo..urine red
Anyway, got meds and have taken 2 and honestly feeling much better already..
Shall speak to doc again re bloody urine.
Anyone else had this?
