blood in urine

[jeep310]

Has anybody had this problem?
4 years ago, I go to the doc for a check-up. They found trace amounts of blood in my urine. The next thing I know, I am being tested for kidney stones. The test came back negitive and nothing ever came about it...............lately I have had major lower back pain....(pinched nerve). I also had to pee like 20 times a day.....1 gallon of water a day is what I consume. Yesterday, I return to the doctors and the same test shows blood in my urine. I guess it has been going on for 4 years or more. Any ideas what it could be? Waiting to get my blood test results back.......does not make life any easier. Thanks all........JEEP310

Sounds like my Dad in his youth and my sister recently. I'm not sure if she had blood in her urine, but she had lower abdominal pain. Dad had the blood and the stones when he was in his early 20s. Both have polycystic kidney disease. My Dad has had a kidney transplant and is now waiting for another kidney. My sister will have to have one probably 15-20 years down the road (when she's in her 40s). Ask you doctor for an ultrasound if thinks there is any possibility that you may have kidney disease, especially if there is a history of it in your familly. Polycystic kidney disease is genetic, but I don't know if it is exclusively a genetic disease or not so ask.

It could just be a kidney infection or a small kidney stone that is causing the blood. A small amount drop of blood can make think you are going to die. (as it looks like you are pissing pure blood). You did the right thing you went to the Dr. He will sort it out. I have had kidney infections and Kidney stones (btw, I'm 25). So I know what it is like to see blood in your urine (scarey as hell).

It's been going on for 4 years though.....so I know it's not stones. They checked my glucose level (81) and said it was ok....Also checked my eyes and was ok there too......I belive they are trying to rule out diabeties.

I had the exact same problem, and it was a urinary tract infection. I got it from sitting on a plane for 7 hours, then on a train for two and a bus for another 3 all in a row. You can also get it from wearing tight panties (or tighty whities, whichever you prefer) for a long time, or a bathing suit. Sex also doesn't help. I went to a doctor in the U.K., and he prescribed some antibiotics and told me to drink a lot of cranberry juice, and it cleared right up in three days.

Everyone who I know who has had one has been prone to them more then someone who hasn't, so you may have had it on and off for a few years. When I had it, I also had to pee all the time, I had blood in my urine, and it was very painful. I also felt like I had to pee constantly. No lower back pain though.

Hope this helps!

Jeep wears tight panties.. and he has sex with small animals. I think he has a yeast infection.

You can also get a UTI from eating Pizzones (tm ) or from having sex with a Pizzone (tm).
