Is it normal to have blood clots in urine during BCG treatment?
Community Member
a month agoI am going through BCG treatment right now. Will have my 6th session next Tuesday. I am experiencing a lot of blood clots coming out with blood in urine, specially in the morning. I am wondering if anyone had the same side effects. My doctor said to check the color of clots and if they are dark it's OK but to contact him if they turn bright red.

a month agoBlood clots during BCG treatment can be a concerning but not uncommon side effect that many patients experience. It sounds like your doctor is monitoring this closely and has given you clear guidance about when to reach out, which is reassuring. Many others in this community have navigated similar experiences during their BCG treatment journey and may have helpful insights to share about managing these side effects.
