While Cialis generally doesn’t cause urinary bleeding, a connection is possible, although rare. This often stems from pre-existing conditions rather than a direct effect of the medication.
Pre-existing Conditions
Urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney stones, or prostate problems can cause bleeding. Cialis, by increasing blood flow, might exacerbate bleeding if these issues are already present. Regular checkups with your doctor, especially if you have a history of urinary problems, are crucial.
Medication Interactions
Combining Cialis with certain blood thinners or medications affecting blood clotting might increase the risk of bleeding. Always inform your physician about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention
If you experience urinary bleeding after starting Cialis, contact your doctor immediately. This is particularly important if the bleeding is heavy, persistent, or accompanied by other symptoms like pain or fever. Prompt medical evaluation helps determine the cause and ensure appropriate management.
Further Investigation
Your doctor might recommend tests like a urine analysis or a cystoscopy to investigate the cause of the bleeding and rule out any serious underlying conditions. These diagnostic tools help pinpoint the origin of the bleeding and guide treatment decisions.
