Blood in urine

[febbabies2023]

Posted in women's health too

Yesterday evening I went to the toilet and noticed that my wee was pink

Thought I was due on my period so put a pad on

Went to the toilet again, and again more slightly pink wee. Nothing on paper when wiping.

No pain when weeing
No period
Only other 'symptoms' would be feeling exhausted a fair bit (I do have two young kids tho) and I sometimes get some pain in my pelvis like stiffness if that makes sense

Any ideas? I will call the Gp in the morning of course.

UTI, you need antibiotics.

You haven’t been eating loads of beetroot have you?

@IrresponsiblyCertainAboutSexualDimorphism nope, I don't like beetroot 😂

@INeedAnotherName would I not have pain or stinging etc with a UTI?

It could be a urinary tract infection or maybe tiny stones in your urinary tract.

It COULD be,cancer Unlikely but get it checked

This. It is very, very unlikely but bladder cancer can easily be dealt with if caught early (essentially scraped out most of the time). No one can afford to miss the chance for an easy cure.

It is more likely a UTI and will need antibiotics prescribed in order to clear up fully.

Kidney stone is a possibility, I would go to AnE

This was my first thought (because who doesn't jump to worst case scenario 😂)

2 days after I posted this I came on my period so I'm just waiting for that to finish before I visit the GP

U can never be sure My neighbour had blood in her urine
But all good now !

You'll be pleased to know I went to the GP today.

No answers at the moment unfortunately but I've done a urine sample which will be dipped and sent off and the dr has also requested blood tests as well - I got the impression that he didn't think it was a UTI but I guess we will see.

Very glad to hear this, OP. Do let us know if we can help.

GP has confirmed that the urine sample was negative and therefore not a UTI

Hoping it's nothing serious obviously, but with other symptoms too it's hard to jump to conclusions. Now a 2 week wait for a blood test and then waiting for results.

I had this year's ago.sent for a cytoscopy to rule out cancer.
It was kidney stones scraping there way down the tubes.

Hi, i had urgency for a pee other nite and when i wiped there was blood . Back again to toilet as was burning when i had a pee, the urine had blood it it.. done this a few times through the nite. I went to nurse in morning she prescribed antibiotics and sent away my sample which now was back to normal although ahe said there was blood in it.. results came back today as inconclusive so now have to got to doctor nxt week.. all symptoms have now settled.. really worried now… in perimenopause not had a period 8 months..
thanks

I had this a few weeks before I had my first kidney stone attack.

Hi, what symptoms did u all have?
