Hi everyone I'm aware that this post hasn't been posted on for a while but back in October I came here and read these posts after a frequent need to urinate lead me to the doctors and similar to the poster, I didn't show signs of infection but had blood in my urine. I was hoping to find some comfort in the messages as my anxiety levels were through the roof! I wanted to post here in case there is anyone else searching for what I was. I had an on / off urge to urinate with no urgency. One day I would need to go 20 times and the next day maybe 5, as I said the Drs could not find any sign of infection but did find blood in my urine. The first step was a ultrasound which came back that all was fine my urinal tract was clear.... I was then referred onto a urologist who actually hasn't said much but referred me for a cystoscopy. I had this yesterday and this also shows no sign of cancer. I'm no closer to the reason for blood in my urine and randomly my need to urinate has disappeared! apparently some women just have blood in the urine for no reason but as I have slight kidney discomfort I'm guessing it's related. The urologist said something about a kidney specialist at some point so I have to wait for next appointment with him in a couple of months time but I wanted to share because it might not be cancer if you have blood in your urine n your Dr mentions that dreaded word, try not to worry.... stay positive. Hope this makes someone feel better n I hope all you that posted get better soon. 

Hi Glowbug,

Just had my Cystoscopy today which was clear and Ultra sound was clear but I’ve had blood in my urine for a year now! I don’t understand where it is coming from and my Kidney discomfort is awful. I also take a low dose antibiotic as I get regular infections but currently my urine is clear of infection but still has microscopic blood. 

happy to hear I’m not alone. 

Hi buttery,are you sure it's not kidney stones you have?

Hi folks,

Just stumbled on this website while doing a search for information.  I'm also a female who had microscopic blood turning up in urine samples despite no infection.  I have symptoms of UTI...discomfort when passing water, lower back pain etc. I had Cystoscopy last week and consultant said I have red patches on bladder wall and will need TURBT to gain biopsy. I'm really scared now even though a ct scan showed  no masses etc. I'm 45 yrs old, had hysterectomy last year , and can't believe I'm facing this now.

Also just stumbled on this website. Today I underwent a cystoscopy in order to have Botox injections  [ also steroid and anaesthetic] Only the surgeon discovered a growth. He removed it, it is being sent to histology. He did not do the injections he said, for fear of spreading something nasty. 

This would have been the second lot of Botox etc, presumably there was nothing else to see six months ago .I have been diagnosed with a very shrunken inflamed bladder, follicular cystitis, which I often take anti biotics for. Blood and proteins are usually found when my urine is tested, no infections. I suffer frequency and urge incontinence- the latter until the Botox. I have been suffering painful cystitis  for years, usually no infection was found so I got no treatment at local doctor's surgery'

The surgeon says he will see me again in a couple of months, meanwhile he has referred me to the specialist bladder cancer nurse. But I won't see her  to know what is going on or the test results for about 4 weeks. Is it a good thing that they aren't really rushing me through? Maybe it will change when they do the biopsy, i don't know how long that will take.

I am worried.

I would welcome comments.

Hi Flowers65

i too had an ultrasound and cystoscopy yesterday following continuous microscopic traces of blood in my urine. No confirmed infection.. 

Yet during my cystoscopy yesterday they have found a raised area on the wall of my bladder. Nothing was really said to me apart from I will be required to have a biopsy done under general anaesthetic. The dr advised I will be hearing within the month and not to worry myself. It wasn’t mentioned If it looked like anything sinister or infection. Just not to worry myself. Well..... I’ve worried myself stupid and still am. I am also 45 and I just feel that the older I’m getting the more likely I am to have something nasty. 

Just a waiting game now to receive the appt to go in for the biopsy x

Hi have always had cystitis for about 30 years, always had blood  at its worst point, latest urine test showed no infection so have to have tests, so u bleed all the while with bladder cancer, no weight loss or loss of appetite no back pain but very scared, could the infection have been missed

Hi all,

I've been reading lots and lots of things online (which I know people always say not to do), however it's gotten to the point now where I am begging for answers and reading stuff online almost gives me some sort of idea what's going on, even if it's not the correct answers I need.

March 2019 water infections / kidney infection began to take over my life. And gradually have been worse and worse since , I have AT LEAST 1 infection a month, I have taken a lot of antibiotics & I am currently fighting my way through a kidney infection. It's been full blown !!! Off work for 2 days so far, on the phone to 111 etc, it's been BAD! I've had blood in my urine, back pain, tummy pain, constant feeling of needing the toilet, I've been sick, my bladder is just IN PAIN. I just want answers !!!! 
im waiting for an ultrasound appointment to come through, which should hopefully be in the next few months, but doctors are also saying they're thinking about putting me on a low dose of antibiotics every day, to prevent it?! 
 

could anyone help??? I'm so down, I get very upset and frustrated with it all.. should I be worried? Not worried ? 
 

someobe please tell me you're going through / have been through what I've been through?! Am I worrying for no reason?! 
 

thank you

Hi, the exact same thing happened to me last week they found a growth that wasn't there 12 months ago and I had to have a biopsy. I am awaiting results and was just wondering how yours turned out?
