Blood in Urine..What does this mean???

by n2prayer, Aug 03, 2005 12:00AM
As you all well Know I am scheduled for surgery 8-9-05.  I have a 12cm cyst.  Don't know if it is cancer or not.  I have been suffering lower back pain for quite awhile and thought it was from the cyst, but they found microscopic blood in my urine.  Has anyone had this problem?  I have read up on hematuria and it says causes could be numerous, but list kidney stones, blockages, cancers...So i was just curious to know if anyone else has gone thru this.  Thanks!

My good friend has had blood in her urine for years but not enough to "see" it and they did all the tests on her and couldn't find out what was wrong.  It sure WASN"T cancer though.  She still has it and feels great.  I could find out more from her if you want me to.

Have you been tested for a urinary tract infection, a kidney infection, or for kidney stones?  The last two, involving the kidneys, can cause lower back pain, as well as pain in the lower side.

Yes I was tested and cultured, all turned out negative.  I have not been tested for stones as of yet but I am going in to get the cyst out next week and I told my doctor that if I need further testing, he better do it while I am in the hospital!!!
