blood in urine - help

[purplehaze]

sorry to first post with such a subject - but a routine urine sample revealed the above, microscopic so not previously known about. My doctor is sending me for a scan. meanwhile my internet searches have done their usual scarey thing - Is there anyone out there who has had a similar test result that could pm me to stop me worrying. thankyou all

It sounds like you have first class medical care as I don't think many of us have a routine urine test. It must be a worry but as it is microscopic and been picked up and dr is sending you for a scan you have to trust that the medical service can look after you. I don't know the statistics but in my experience every time - bar one-the dr has been worried about me or my family and we have gone for scans/ further tests it has all been fine. On the one occasion where this was not the case I had a very quick treatment and regular check ups and all is well 25 years later.

thank you so much for your reply it does make me feel a bit better about it

My gf has said it is probably just a bit of cystitas and the scan is just to check it isnt coming from higher up in the kidneys. A bit of blood in urine is nothing.

I went through a phase of passing drops of pure blood at the tail end of every pee, it was about 15 years ago. By the time I'd been fixed up with a hosp appt to investigate, it had cleared up. I'm still here. Does that help?

It may well be cystitis, as PaulK has said, you'll know soon enough.

I had the same test result as you once, but nothing at all was found from subsequent investigations.

If that helps!

PaulK: "A bit of blood in urine is nothing."

Incorrect. And dangerous to believe it.

When my doctor saw what I was pissing a few years ago (bits of congealed blood) she had me at Kings for a blood test immediately.

A couple of days later I was having X-Ray, MRI and other tests, culminating in a camera being put up into my bladder - where they found lesions that should not have been there. Couple of weeks later they operated and removed them all.

Moral: Ignoring blood in your urine is not good for your health.
