Hello,
If it is a burst blood vessel then you should wait for atleast 5-6 days. If repeat happens then it needs thorough examination and investigations.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
thank you so much for responding. He isn't passing clots that we know of. The way he explains it to me is once he has urinated he gets a strange sensation then the blood comes. This morning the blood has been mixed in to the urine. The doctor said it may be a burst blood vessel and to see how it goes but how long do you leave it for? He is worried sick!
Many thanks
Hello,
If he is passing different-shaped clots in urinary stream, they could represent bleeding from the urethra or prostate (in men). Clots can be wormlike, and if associated with pain it could represent clots coming from your ureters(tubes from your kidneys to your bladder).
When the blood in the urine is at the beginning of urination, it most likely comes from the urethra, (the tube from the bladder to the outside). Blood throughout urination is most likely from the bladder or kidneys or ureters (the tubes connecting the kidneys and the bladder).
Diagnostic tests that may be performed include Urinalysis, Urine culture, X-rays of the kidneys, Cystoscopy, IVP, Abdominal ultrasound and CT scan of the abdomen. I suggest you to consult a urologist for your husband.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
