Hello everyone, I have had blood in my urine for many years.When I first
started having blood I had many tests. I did have chronic cystitis many
years ago. I also had a stricture in the uretha which was opened up,
after that my problems seemed to clear up. Before my last couple
surgeries I had blood in my urine as well as blood in my stool. I had a
colonoscopy, barium enema and upper GI series which showed nothing. I
was also constipated for months. When I had surgery to remove adhesions
from intestines and colon, the blood associated with bm's stopped.
Chris, I have had 2 kidney infections since my last surgery. While in
the hospital I was bleeding through my catheter and I think this caused
my infections, I also ran a fever. My surgeon didn't agree because I
was being given intavenious anti-biotics. He also used Seprafilm which
may have caused the fever as well. Maybe I should check into this
further, thanks for your response. Sherry
