Q: Small trace of Blood in Urine...UTI?

asked by: DoctorQuestion on August 1st, 2006

My question is that i am wondering if i have UTI, Urinary Tract Infection. About 2 days ago, i started to feel sort of a burning pain when i urinate. There is also a stronger odour when i urinate now. One time, i think i saw a small trace of blood in my urine too. Is this UTI? If so, i would be able to wait a few days to see if it passes, or do i have to go to the doctors immediately?

It seems likely that you are experiencing a urinary tract infection (UTI) where the urethra is affected (urethritis). You can visit your GP (general physician) for a diagnosis and treatment.
