Urinary tract infection?

Question

I've had a small problem once before but it went away on its own. well this time it started hurting in the morning when i peed and by around 12 o clock, i started to bleed. at first i was like, there's no way im having my period this early but then i realized it was coming out when I peed. It looks sort of pale-ish red, like when first start your period but it has clot like pieces that are darker red. I have never really heard anything about bleeding being associated with UTI's but I guess it's possible. Anyone know for sure? Also, what are the chances it will go away on it's own again?

Also, I heard that UTI's are either caused by Chlamydia, which I know I dont' have, or E Coli!? How would I have E Coli and not feel sick or know at all?

Answer 1

Don't know for sure - the doctor would probably do a dipstick test and send the urine to the lab for culture to grow bacteria.

When I had a urine infection I drank plenty of water and took pain killers. 2 weeks later, it was still there!

Go get checked out. If you leave it, it MIGHT become a kidney infection, but more to the point it won't go away real well unless you get some antibiotics.

Answer 2

It probably did not completely go away on its own. You need to go get a urinalysis test at your doctors office. This will tell. Blood does show up in urine when you have a UTI. You need the correct medication to clear this up once and for all.

Answer 3

Go to the doctor, asap. If it's a UTI, sometimes cranberry pills help, but let the doctor check to make sure it's not something serious. It will ease your mind to know for sure.

Answer 4

No you need to see a doc and get your urine tested. Left untreated a UTI can spread to your kidneys or to your blood stream and cause nasty problems. See a doc and get this checked.
