Q: blood in urine twice

asked by: 2ogenea on April 9th, 2009

New User

Last night I noticed what appeared to be blood in my urine. It happened on two back to back trips to the bathroom and then went away. My urine has looked normal since then. How worried should I be? Is a one-time occurrence enough that I should see a doctor, or would I be okay waiting to see if it happens again?

Current medications:
Lexapro
Cymbalta (for the last 2-3 weeks)
Mobic (for less than a week)

Do you experience burning or pain when urinating?

How about bladder, pelvic or flank pain / discomfort?

Blood in urine is not normal. So if your above answers are all no and your urine has been clear for a few days. I might wait and if it happens again or if you have other symptoms then yes make an appt for an accurate diagnosis.

No pain whatsoever, and it has not happened since. I wasn't too worried, but my wife has been pushing me to make a doctor's appointment.
