My husband is 70, had a stroke from a blood clot on the right side of his brain and hospitalized for 6 weeks, He is now home using 100 mg enteric coated aspirn daily. He is incontinent and wears diapers, but is progressing daily, with assisted walking, speeks and understands and can hold a conversation well, eats unassisted, Today he has been passing bright red blood with his urine. He has no temperature or pain or discomfort..  He has never had a problem with this before.  Is it the aspirin therapy?  Should I stop the aspirin therapy? What should I do about this?
Hi Heath aspirin medicine acts on platelets and blocks theme platelets are an essential component of clotting mechanisms by that count, yes bleeding can be due to aspiring I doubt it, it's not that frequent.I am not sure about the neurological status yes I would suggest holding aspirin too in one of my patients I would suggest an urgent hospitalization for management of frank hematuria will suggest the same to meet a urologist as soon as possible to know if there is need for an intervention Best of luck Chat Doctor.
