About three months ago I thought I was getting a bout of cystitis. I'm 43 and not had cystitis since my twenties. Went to docs, said no infection but microscopic blood in urine so gave me antibiotics and that was that.
Last week symptoms came back but slightly worse. Went to docs again who did a dip test and said there were "all sorts growing" , gave me three day course of anti b's. I initially felt the anti b's had worked but have felt the symptoms returning last few days (frequent urinating, pressure down below, slight burning when weeing but this has since subsided). So I went back to the walk in centre today and they did another dip test which was negative but they've said it had microscopic traces of blood in it. They are sending it off for further testing in case they've missed something but have said they can't give me further antibiotics at this stage and ti wait the results.
Now what is worrying me is the blood in my urine. Why is this still present when the infection has apparently gone?
I do suffer from health anxiety and Dr Google has suggested my symptoms may point to bladder cancer so I'm now planning my funeral obvs .
Anyone any experience of this?
