I seem to always have trace amounts of blood in my urine and trace leukocytes. Doctors don't seem to be concerned but I'm wondering if I should push for further testing.

I had Cystoscopy done for Botox in my bladder. As a male, The most Excruciating pain ever in my life.

I am almost 76. I just had a cancerous tumor removed. Luckily it was not invasive. When I went in for the original cystoscopy they didn't give me a damn thing and it hurt like hell. After words for about 3 days I felt like I was peeing razor blades and this was before the surgery. During surgery I was under General Anesthesia thank God. I was in the Hospital overnight with a catheter. Well, yanking out that catheter was not a pleasant sensation by any means and again I was peeing what felt like razor blades for the next 3 days. It got better over time but still peeing feels uncomfortable now on my 7th day of recovery. I forgot to mention that initially I was peeing blood and clots and it came on all of a sudden. I had no symptoms other then feeling really tired all the time. If you see blood in your urine, do not hesitate to get medical attention. Bladder cancer at its worth can leave you without a bladder or metastasize to other parts of your body.

Oh gosh 😰 I'm really scared. Thank you for the information. I had a benign tumor on my kidney ten years ago and now they are going to do these tests to see if something is growing again. I'm really worried

I had a cystoscopy about 25 years ago. I'll never have another one regardless of the situation.

Last night before going to bed, I urinated and noticed that the blood in my urine was very visible, so the next day, I called my doctor's office and she would like me to have a urine test first. Interestingly, I only had blood in the urine last night and did not notice it the next day and had kind of a "stinging" sensation while urinating. Not going to panic, but will see what the urine exam reveals.

I see blood when I wipe, I'm very nervous. This has gone on for 4 months, but it stopped, so I blew it off. I don't think I should have blew it off.

I woke up and needed to go to the bathroom-as I started to pee-the pain I had made me double over-no stinging-just a different kind of pain...i wiped only the urethra and there was blood on the toilet paper. I looked in toilet 1st time-no blood-but even after peeing, that pain remained-i went to the bathroom just to see if i could go again and because there wasn't much urine-i saw pink in toilet and also again when i wiped myself.my lower back hurts on both sides and i thought the back pain was from my L4-L5 spinal stenosis...its really late-and thought about going to the ER-but there probably wouldn't be a urologist on call-so i am gonna try to sleep-gonna drink water before i go to bed and see what happens when i wake up

Am from Nigeria I have experience that onec please tell me what can I do to overcome the situation

[lovetheoutdoors]

So February 15th 2022 I came home to find blood in the urine and very visible. I did a urine and blood test and everything came back norma but blood was still therel. On February 22nd I went and saw my primary doctor and did another urine and no blood was present. My doctor sent the urine to the lab and it showed dehydration and sighs of kidney stones. Till now I have not seen any blood and I'm hoping it never comes back because it's very scary and nerve racking. Hope you all have a safe and wonderful life 🙏🙏🙏

Is a RBC of 50 high? If you have a know kidney disease would this be the cause?

[georgeschlaline]

Last time I had blood in the urine was in the 80s

[gonefar]

[dineshwarisieudarsan]

My doc sometimes find blood in my urine under microscope. But I did a pelvic exam and kidney ultrasound and found that I have sponge kidneys.. awaiting a specialist

[healdiseasenow]

I did the bladder scope everything was good

[lovlycu]

i HAD LITHOTRYPSY IN 2017 & WAS TOLD THEY WOULD ELIMINATE 1 STONE. I JUST PASSED ANOTHER IN 2022. I HAD THE SCOPE IN 2000 & FOUND NOTHING & 20+ YEARS LATER STILL HAVE BLOOD IN MY URINE. THIS TIME I WENT TO A FEMALE MD & HAVING A CYTO PROCEDURE TOMORROW

[amiracle]

Well my doctor said she found blood in my urine but it’s not showing up that I have a kidney stone or bladder infection so I wonder what could it be because I am also having pains on my right side of my stomach
