Question 1

what does blood in urine for a male mean?

Accepted Answer

Blood in urine: If there is blood in the urine and nothing else abnormal, then blood is entering your urine in some way. Are there symptoms like burning with urine, flank pain, recent infection, recent groin injury, recent genitourinary surgery, etc?  See your doctor for further follow up as this needs to be looked at in a clinical context to be sure everything is good.

Question 2

what are likely causes of aching in/near kidneys, left side only, with a little blood in urine? (39 yr. male)

Accepted Answer

Kidney stone: If no prior conditions run in your family it might be a kidney stone which is rubbing against your ureter, which is resulting in blood in your urine. There are many conditions that can cause pain and also blood to appear in the urine. I would strongly advise to consult your doctor and even a nephrologist to get to the bottom of this asap.

Question 3

severe cramping, blood in urine. age 30, male only happens after waking up to severe cramps on lower side abdomen. all tests normal?

Accepted Answer

Blood in urine: if you have hematuria all your tests are not normal, go to your coc and straighten out the problem and the findings

Question 4

Question 5

if a urinalysis shows no blood in urine  a week after a single gross hematuria event, does that mean the issue has resolved? (i.e. possible kidney stone passed, etc). i am on eliquis and had left flank plain 4 days before gross hematuria occurrence?

Accepted Answer

Yes, possible: Above scenario appears consistent with a passed stone, however you are left with the 2 conditions that contributed, taking a blood thinner and the propensity of forming stones and the risk for another such episode in the future remains high. Make sure all your treating docs are aware of recent events.

Question 6

blood in male urine after sexual intercourse, is this emergency?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: While not an emergency, he should see his doctor in the next week or so.  Also it may represent an infection, so he should use condoms every time till it is evaluated.

Question 7

gross hematuria with blood clots but only after sexual activity. urine clear when no sexual activity occurs. prostate? busted seminal vessel? ua was neg for protein blood etc. white count normal too. thoughts?

Accepted Answer

: Bladder cancer would be my first concern. Someone needs to look in ur bladder.

Question 8

gross hematuria, end of urination. blood samples, urine samples done. no infection. "tense" bladder, lower back pain, occasional scrotum/testicle pain?

Accepted Answer

Hmm...: I bet you've got a little vascular malformation that's grown in your prostatic urethra. Time to get with a urologist. You're a young man, probably in the peak of good health, and pain around there is surely a nuisance. We can figure it out and fix it, I'll bet. Best wishes.

Question 9

blood in urine i am a 48 yr old male and this just happened this morning.

Accepted Answer

You : You need to get checked out promptly especially if you had no discomfort or pain with urinating when you saw the blood. Blood in the urine without pain can be a symptom of bladder or kidney cancer. See your doctor to get a urine test and plan further testing.

Question 10

is it normal to have a trace of blood in urine for a black 47 year old male

Accepted Answer

No: It is never normal to have trace of blood in the urine.  You may have blood in the urine but not see it, but if blood is visible, it is definitely not normal.  See a doctor.
