Blood in Urine

Yipes! I have blood in my urine. It started on Tuesday. I went to the doctor yesterday. The urine test showed there was no infection so it is not a UTI. My Dr. ordered a CT scan and a visit to the urologist. So I am waiting now to hear from Kaiser. I am not in any pain but of course am worried about what could be wrong. The Dr. basically told me not to worry until we find out the problem. It might be easier to not worry if there wasn't the constant reminder every time I use the toilet. My sister invited me for a girls weekend in Palm Springs this weekend so hopefully that will take my mind of of it. MichiGirl

Sorry to hear about that MichiGirl. Doesn't it hurt to pass the blood? I had this about 2 months back, but UTI related. Passing the clots hurt like a B*!ch. I hope it turns out to be something very minor. Are you getting enough water in? Lori

Thanks Lori. No it doesn't hurt. It is not clots. It almost looks like it is my period except it is not coming from that place. I am getting at least 60oz of water if not more a day. There is less blood after I have drank a bottle of water. I think it is just diluting it. Kaiser hasn't called yet but I left a message for my PCP telling her there is more blood now than yesterday and that I had a lower abdomin CT scan while in the hospital for my surgery in June. Not sure if they can look at that or if I need a new one. MichiGirl

Hi Michi-girl I am so sorry to hear you are going through this!! I just want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers that everything is okay,I am sure it will be! PLEASE PLEASE keep us updated as soon as you hear anything! If you need anything or anything I can do please do not hesitate to send me an email,I am here for you hon!!! ((hugs)) Nancy

Thanks Nancy, you are so sweet. I am still waiting for Kaiser to call me. I just want to schedule the appointments so I can find out what is wrong. DH keeps calling me to see if Kaiser has called and I keep having to say no. I am noticing that I am urinating less. Normally I go 2 times after I drink a 20oz bottle of water. I only went once today and not the normal amount. Maybe I am retaining it somehow. I appreciate your concern and will let everyone know what is happening. MichiGirl

Hon if they don't call you,call them and call them and call them,until they have a answer for you! There is nothing worse than having something going on and "waiting" for the phone to ring! I quit doing that,I give an ample amount of time and then I start calling and hounding,a lot of times you get "lost" in the paperwork,messages etc.... keep after them until you hear something!! Prayers coming your way! Nanc

My prayers are with you. Keep us informed.
