Question 2

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.

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.

Get evaluated: There are many causes of blood in the urine.See your doctor soon to get evaluated by imaging and possibly other studies.Good luck.

Question 7

See a urologist: Blood in urine is cancer until proven otherwise. Fortunately it is not cancer most of the time, but, how do you know unless it is checked. Could also be from a polyp, uti, bladder stone or other urinary tract pathology.

Question 8

trace of blood in urine only after bowel movement. otherwise very clear every time i urinnate.  i had a case of hemorrhoid but why blood in urine?

Accepted Answer

Prob not related: Blood in the urine may come from many sources most of which are not related to the rectum or anus. In the absence of any history of prior pelvic surgery radiation cancer or other benign diseases,  any blood in urine which doesn't resolve should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.

Question 9

what causes blood in urine?

Accepted Answer

Many things: Blood in urine can be from minor to major causes.  Tumors, infections, inflammation , medications, ruptured vesses in the urinary system all can cause blood in the urine.  A single drop of blood in a cup of urine can turn the urine red.  If you suspect blood in your urine, get seen by your pcp or urologist and find the cause.  Don't delay.  It is not worth it to wait.

Question 10

nonhemolyzed blood in urine?

Accepted Answer

Red blood cells.: This is the same as red blood cells in urine.   This should be confirmed by a microscopic look at the urine.  Could be coming from anywhere from the kidney ureters or bladder.
