What do blood and blood clots in urine indicate?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 22 years old. I have blood and blood clots flowing in my urine. It happened about two times. After an hour, when I urinated, it was normal. I went to a nearby hospital and checked my blood and urine. It was completely normal.

After two days, I went for an advanced scan. I did an ultrasound scan for the kidneys, bladder, and abdominal area. The scanning results were completely normal.

After a few days, I had the same problem. I have had a habit of masturbation for the past six years. I can see a blood vessel enlarged in my penis, and the blood supply is blocked in that region. I have an erection problem now.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Blood in urine usually occurs due to an infection or a stone. Since your reports are regular, there can be a mild infection, or it can be a small stone that has not caused any pain.

I suggest you visit a urologist and get a CT scan of the KUB (kidneys, ureter, and urinary bladder) region done. If the results are healthy and if there is no bleeding, probably there is nothing to be done. If the report shows something or if there is bleeding again, further tests will be advised by the urologist.

Do not worry about the veins over your penile skin, as they are not related to an erection. So do not worry about erectile problems. Take plenty of fluids. Please provide your reports for further analysis.

I hope it helps.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Now I can see a blood vessel (top of the penis) enlarged in a round form.

  1. Does it happen due to an infection?
  2. If it is a problem, can it heal automatically?

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The vessels present over the penile skin supply the penile skin surface only when they elongate during erection. So do not worry unless they are painful, or when they have bumps or when they are increasing in size.

I hope it helps.

Thank you.
