Blood appearing in the urine at any time except during menstruation always means something serious is going on in the bladder or kidneys. Bleeding may arise from stones in the bladder, or from some acute inflammation, or perhaps from small polyps or tumors. Even tuberculosis may be responsible for blood in the urine.

Bleeding may also occur if person is taking anticoagulants, or blood-thinning drugs, to keep his blood from clotting. The bladder may be the first place where this type of bleeding will show. Call your doctor at once, or take the patient to the hospital a full examination.
