Can A UTI Cause Bleeding?

Urinary tract infections are common among men and women. They’re caused by bacteria entering your bladder and urethra. You’re probably familiar with some of the symptoms of UTIs. These include a frequent need to pee, painful urination, smelly and cloudy urine, and pressure or cramps in your lower abdomen, back, or sides. But what if you’re peeing blood, or see blood when you wipe? Is that a normal symptom of a UTI?

The short answer is yes. Peeing blood (also known as hematuria) during a UTI is totally normal. Read on to learn what causes it, and how you can treat it.

Why am I seeing blood in my urine during a UTI?

While it may seem alarming to see blood in your urine, it’s a normal symptom of a UTI. You can blame the bacteria that’s causing your UTI for this; the bacteria infection causes inflammation to the lining of your urinary tract, which results in a small number of red blood cells making their way into your urine.

This may show up as a pink streak when wiping, or your urine in the toilet may seem red. Both are typically normal symptoms of a UTI and will likely go away once your UTI is treated.

How do I treat blood in my urine due to a UTI?

The only way to stop the bleeding from a UTI is to treat the UTI. Antibiotics are the best course of action. Your doctor can provide you with a prescription for an antibiotic to treat your UTI. Antibiotics typically only take a few days to start working but make sure you take your medication for the full length of time prescribed. If you stop early, the UTI may not be completely cleared and could come back.

Be sure to stay hydrated throughout your treatment. Staying hydrated helps to flush the bacteria from your urinary tract and can help with recovery as your antibiotics kick in.

When to get help for a UTI.

If you think you have a UTI, you should see a doctor right away. This is especially true if you are peeing blood or notice blood when you wipe. Your doctor will be able to diagnose your problem and provide you with the treatment you need to clear up the infection.

Letting a UTI go untreated for too long can cause greater problems, as the infection may spread from the bladder to the kidneys. This could reduce kidney function and could be especially dangerous for those who already have kidney problems.

  1. 1st sign of a uti I start taking 4 doses of D-Mannose per day, the last one right before bed. Use test strips to check for leukocytes and after it no longer indicates a uti I continue with 2-3 doses for a few days. Diabetics can normally take this and doctors are not allowed to recommend it. 9 out of 10 times it works for me. At times I have needed an antibiotic. Research this. You will be glad you did.

  2. En vacances depuis 3 semaines, J’ai commencé une infection urinaire hier, j’ai passé le nuit à aller faire de petits pipi. Au matin je suis voir la pharmacie pour une prescription d’antibiotiques, elle m’a donné URIGEN, prendre 1 co. Au 8 heures. Présentement j’ai du sang dans mes urines et très douloureux lors des mictions.

  3. I’ve had a UTI going on 3 months now and I have started seeing blood when I wipe I have been to the Dr 3 times as of now. I am going to see a specialist as soon as I can get an appointment is this something I should be worried about. Thank you for your time.

  4. I am 65 years old. I had terrible burning while peeing 2 days ago. A lot of blood. Now the burning has stopped but it feels like I am having a freaking orgasm every time I pee?? What the heck. I would rather have the burn. Help

  5. It’s a good idea to go see your Dr but I can’t get in to see mine for over a month. They suggested ER or urgent care but the cost is prohibitive. Since I have had these before with the same symptoms, why can’t I just get the Rx I had the last time refilled? I am 75 and have had Type 1 Diabetes for 61 years.

  6. I have a urinary tract infection you I took amoxicillin a full card it stopped but after a couple of day it’s started again and with sever pain and bleeding after urinating. I feel as to pee with an emty blader

  7. Have ahsd a UTI for 3 weeks now and still on medication, it has not cleared up at all apart for 2days. Now im peeing blood what can i do since im on holiday for another 8days

  8. I had UTI medication for 2 weeks but on the last day I had small discharge with blood and today I had more blood discharge than the fist time. Is that normal should I concerned?

  9. When I urinate my urine burns and I feel pain inside my vigina and when I wipe urine the is little blood stains

  10. I have a uti, with symptoms of cloudy urine and kidney pain. I have been prescribed 500mg of amoxicillin 3 times a day. 6 tablets later and I have pink blood on the toilet paper when wiping after I pee. Is this normal or should I stop taking the amoxicillin?

  11. If you are a diabetic and are on insulin several times a day injections and you only have one kidney that you were born that way my question is is it especially dangerous not to treat a UTI if you are peeing blood and wiping blood

  12. I read something about small tears too is why we bleed from having a UTI. Where is that tear at exactly? Small little cuts like I guess from the infection passing through or what? Thanku

Does Medicaid Cover Incontinence Supplies?

Medicaid is the nation’s public health insurance program designed for individuals and families who may be low-income, elderly, or disabled. The Medicaid program covers more than 1 in 5 Americans, including many with complex and costly needs for care. With over 74 million Americans relying on Medicaid, it is the largest single source of health coverage in the U.S. The program ensures that qualifying individuals can access medically necessary products, including incontinence supplies, urological supplies, and other medical necessities, as well as healthcare and long-term care services.

Urinary incontinence is a prevalent condition that impacts over 25 million people in the U.S., including more than half of all seniors. Managing incontinence can be challenging, especially for those on a limited income, as the cost of incontinence briefs, underpads, and other bladder control supplies can quickly add up.

Fortunately, for many individuals on Medicaid, coverage is available for the medical supplies needed to effectively manage incontinence, provided there is a qualifying medical diagnosis. This coverage ensures that individuals receive the necessary products to maintain their health and quality of life.

Medicaid is the nation’s public health insurance program designed for individuals and families who may be low-income, elderly, or disabled. The Medicaid program covers more than 1 in 5 Americans, including many with complex and costly needs for care. With over 74 million Americans relying on Medicaid, it is the largest single source of health coverage in the U.S. The program ensures that qualifying individuals can access medically necessary products, including incontinence supplies, urological supplies, and other medical necessities, as well as healthcare and long-term care services.

Urinary incontinence is a prevalent condition that impacts over 25 million people in the U.S., including more than half of all seniors. Managing incontinence can be challenging, especially for those on a limited income, as the cost of incontinence briefs, underpads, and other bladder control supplies can quickly add up.

Fortunately, for many individuals on Medicaid, coverage is available for the medical supplies needed to effectively manage incontinence, provided there is a qualifying medical diagnosis. This coverage ensures that individuals receive the necessary products to maintain their health and quality of life.

Dr. Syan Podcast OAB

The Ins-and-Outs of OAB

When is that sudden urge to go so bad that you should seek out medical help? How can I tell the difference between a UTI and OAB? How much water should I be drinking every day? Can a woman actually visit a urologist? 

These are some of the important questions that we address with today’s guest, Dr. Raveen Syan. She’s an associate professor of clinical urology at the University of Miami’s Miller School of Medicine and a specialist in a number of women’s pelvic health issues, including the treatment of stress urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and overactive bladder. 

Bladder Cancer in the News – What You Need to Know

With the recent announcement by Deion Sanders, hall of fame NFL player and current head coach for the University of Colorado Buffaloes, that he is undergoing treatment for bladder cancer, we’ve been seeing a significant increase in interest about the disease. Today’s guest is Dr. Bradley Gill, chief of surgery at Cleveland Clinic Hillcrest and Mentor Hospitals and a board-certified urologist, to help us understand the condition, its causes, treatment options and potential outcomes.
