Urinary frequency, pelvic pain
I am having very frequent urinations with pelvic pain, bloating and traces of blood in my urine. Culture and Urinary tests were negative for bacteria and xray show no sign of kidney stones. What could be wrong?

Hi,
Elevation in TSh or Grave's disease can result in bladder symptoms related to voiding and will need to be treated concurrently with the cause of elevated TSh.
However, the other causes for your urinary symptoms, specifically at the kidney level, will need to be evaluated.
There are several noninfective conditions of the kidneys which result in kidney necrosis and damage and can be characterized by the symptoms you have . These include focal glomerular diseases, and systemic disorders which have a renal component.
keep fluid intake high and follow-up with your urologist for identifying the cause of the symptoms.
Do keep us posted.

I am a 27 year old female. Bladder stones were ruled out as well. Additional blood test indicated that my TSH was high. Is there any link to that and my symptoms?

Hi,
How old are you?
Causes of blood in urine other than the two causes that have been ruled out include kidney infections, kidney disease, trauma, bladder stones, Interstitial cystitis, tumors, etc.
In men prostatitis can present with all the symptoms described above.
Additional investigations required include blood tests to check for kidney function and a cystoscopy to check for injury to the bladder lining.
Keep your fluid intake high (over 2000 ml), avoid caffeine and alcohol, consume citrus fruits and juices, and maintain hygiene.
Do keep us posted on your doubts and progress.
Regards
