Blood in Urine
I have blood in urine. My blood work, urine cultures and ultrasound (examining the kidney) came back fine. No pain, no fevers, no trauma, no heavy exercise. Just rust colored, bloody urine for about 3 weeks.
I have also experienced tremendous anal itching--which I suspect is related to pinworms, (though unconfirmed). It occurs mostly at night and the symptoms seems to indicate pinworms.
Is it possible the two are related? I saw some internet sites that suggest pinworms can irritate the uretha. I am 41, female, great health---other than these issue.
Also, curious to learn other possible causes of the blood in urine as I have to wait 1.5 weeks just to see a doctor.
Thx

Blood in the urine can be caused by kidney stones, GU infections, as well as bladder or kidney disease.
The tests you have had are a reasonable start.
You can more comprehensively rule out stones with a CT scan. The bladder and lower GU tract can be evaluated with a cystoscopy.
Although possible, I am not aware of pinworms irritating the urethra.
I would discuss these options with a urologist or your personal physician.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
