A friend with "watch and wait" mitral valve issues has had similar symptoms; occasional blood in urine and repeated infections. A PSA test showed elevated levels and he is now under urology. If you have not had the test done ask for it today.

Blood thinners can cause problems and these may need changing if they are the cause.

Small and soft psa was very low been to drs this morning gave sample all clear results back from lab all clear yet still cloudy found links to aspirin being a strong piss along with Clopidogrel in fact a lot of forums r saying it just don’t trust dr Google thought others may have had it there’s been no infection return just cloudy with odd spot but this morning no blood no cloudy but sent off for cultura

If it is a UTI it may be difficult to shift. My friend's GP had to try a few antibiotics to clear it and it was the same for another friend's mother. Good luck!

Hi, don't be alarmed, but I would suggest you have a peek at the Bladder cancer group blog. I've had a similar blood in urine problem which turned out to be a growth in my bladder's wall. Good luck and get well.

Thanks ken just what I wanted to here lol. Mine as gone away and was only due to infection all bloods have come back normal white blood counts normal now. Had urine come back from lab normal consultant said she’s that convinced it’s just the infection and as the cloudy urine comes and goes and as been tested. 3 times in the lab all normal yesterday my gp checked it one more time and it was clear so she did so e checks on the meds both aspirin andclopigrel can cause it. Had none since life 3 weeks consultant where I work said same thing thanks for reply
