My mom is 85 with Alzheimer s she has been spot bleeding on and off for the last week. She came back positive with a uti , which she s had several times with no bleeding. She s been on an antibiotic for 2 days now and again there was bleeding today and tonight, she is in a nursing home and they said we just have to wait. My question is how long does it take before the bleeding would stop? The antibiotics are for 7 days.
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Bleeding is not common in cases of UTI. So, if your mother has recurrent bleeding, she needs to be evaluated by a gynecologist and urologist to ascertain the cause of bleeding. It could be another infection, and we need to exclude any malignancy looking at her age of 85. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.
