Blood in urine question.
I've been training for a marathon for about 6 months. I'm 37 yrs old. Last week about 6.5 mile into my run I felt the need to relieve my bladder.So instead of finishing out my run I returned home.When I started to urinate the stream was dark red.No mistake it was blood in my urine.Started to panic and jumped online to see what I could come up with.I drank 3 bottles of water to bring myself to urinate again.The very next time I relieved myself the urine was clear.So I scheduled an appt.with my GP first thing in the morning.Test results at the Dr showed blood in the urine just not noticable to the naked eye this was 12 hrs after the first encounter the night before.He sent the urine out to the lab for more testing.The Dr office called this morning and said there were some red blood cells in the urine but no Malignant cells.Or cells that were non malignant.I have another urine test schedualed later this week along with complete blood work.Does this sound like anything synister?Or maybe just somthing I did by running. Thanks in advance.
I've been married for over ten yrs.So I don't think STD would be a player in the equastion.I have no pain urinating or lower back pain.This was a one time occurance.No previous history.Would the Micro blood in the urine be somthing left over from the night before ? Possiable injury to the lining of the bladder? He said there were no malignant cells in my urine.Would that rule out any kidney tumers?
Hi,
How are you? Blood in urine or haematuria can be caused by stones in the urinary tract, infections, trauma, instrumentation and tumors.
Did you ever experience this before? Also any symptoms like burning sensation while passing urine is present? If yes it could be due to infections and they can be cleared with antibiotics. In case of stones or trauma pain in the flank region can be noticed.
Haematuria without pain raises the suspicion of tumors of the kidney. But it needs to be confirmed by CT Scan study. Also get checked for STD and routine urinary tract infections.
See what your reports say and discuss with your doctor about the possible conditions.
All the best.
