Blood after urinating

Published by

I recently started passing some fresh drops of blood after urinating. This happened a few weeks after my return from the village where I swam in the local stream. Please help me.

You must have been infected with Schistosomiasis when you swam in the local stream. Luckily, the treatment is very affordable. Kindly approach the nearest hospital to you for a confirmatory urine test and the appropriate medication. In addition, your local health officials should as a matter of urgency disinfect or drain off the stream in order to terminate the growth of the infecting organism.
