Hi Connie,

If the blood is only noticed after urinating, maybe it is coming from the urinary tract. I'm not a Dr. or any other type of medical professional, but I have had blood in my urine in the past. It was usually due to a bladder infection, which does need to be addressed by your physician. I have had a few kidney infections which resulted in blood in my urine, but believe me, when it gets to that point, you know! You need to let the Dr. know what is going on...it is definitely worth mentioning!

Talk to your Dr. Remember, you are paying him/her to help you. If your Dr. is making you feel like you are calling too much, then maybe it is time to find another Dr.

Feel better.
