The poster/flyer says:

Tummy trouble? Blood in your pee? Speak to your doctor

Speak to your doctor if you have had tummy trouble for 3 weeks or more. This means:

  • your tummy feels uncomfortable or you have any pain
  • you have diarrhoea or runny poo

You should also speak to your doctor if you have seen blood in your pee, even just once.

It is probably nothing serious, but if it is something serious like cancer, finding it early makes it easier to treat.

Speak to your doctor, they are there to help.
