Ok thank you. I'll call Tomorow. Thx again..
Honestly, please don't assume uti.
With blood and blood in urine, please get your pcp/gp to refer you to a urologist for a cystoscopy ASAP. It's probably nothing, but there other things that can cause these symptoms that should be ruled out.
It's a quick and easy procedure involving a tiny camera.
I had a completely separate issue that was ignored for a couple of years because my gp assumed it was related to ms. Not everything is ms.
Thank you.. If uti s are prevalent .. I'd assume antibiotics are given often. That can't be good gor you either. Do you manage them on your own?
This will link you to a few really good and well worth reading articles and pamphlets on bladder/bowel issues...

I've been dealing with bladder dysfunction (urgency & incontinence) for a few years and the UTI's have become more common because of it but whilst blood in the urine is associated with UTI's, i've personally never had blood in my urine unless it's coincided with a menstrual cycle.
I definitely think you need to see your GP to get this looked into, because it could be from the UTI, a menstrual issue or a kidney issue but unless your experiencing bladder dysfunctions without a UTI, i wouldn't actually be thinking it was likely to be an MS bladder issue.
