Bleeding while urinating infected with Hep C

[bignuggets]

I have hep c for 31 yrs no insurance can't see dr . I had severe bleeding twice last week  when I urinated there was also a bit of tissue iin the blood. I haven't had any more bleeding at all since. I went dumpster diving and was bent over the dumpster around the chest area close to my stomach,  I was completely exhausted and slept about 8 hrs and when i woke up and urinated there was blood in the toilet and running down my legs, I got a hand towel and that was also soaked with blood. I do believe my portal vein was tied off or i think a rubber band put around it, durring a procedure so that the vein wouldn't burst could it have burst anyway? I haven't had any other symptoms except for the bleeding, It is pretty scary please give me a clue, thank you

if you have no insurance look into a clinical trial.  i'm in one.  they're free and they monitor you very close.  i love my study nurse and my dr. is one of the best liver specialists in san diego.  look up clinicaltrials.gov.  they are all over the u.s. and world.  best of luck to you.  belle

The only clue I can give you is what anyone would tell you ...It's time to take responsibly for your health. Having hepatitis C for 31 years and not having any insurance is not something anybody should be doing. treatment and complications from this disease can be very expensive.

You need to see a doctor. Blood in your urinary tract is a indication the something is very wrong. Sure the symptom of bleeding can go away that doesn't mean the underlying illness has gone away. How long do you plan to wait before seeking help? Until you don't stop bleeding? Until you pass out? If you have to pay cash then pay it. No good having cash if you are not around to use it. This could be something serious. We can't diagnose you over the Internet. We don't know your history and we not doctors.
