Hematuria: This does not sound concerning. Are you having any abdominal or back pain? If you are having pain with blood then I would let your OB know.

Hematuria: Blood in urine is abnormal and shouldn't be ignored. Possibilities include infection, stone or growths in the bladder or kidney, or kidney inflammation such as nephritis. Testing includes a urine culture and colony count, urine cytology and ultrasounds of bladder and kidneys. A urologist or nephrologist are best qualified to evaluate and advise you.
