Q: Blood In the urine after bladder infections
asked by: SpideyGirl on April 6th, 2005

Okay, I have had 3 bladder infections in the past year and a half. So when I felt like I was getting another one at the beginning of the week, I went to the infirmary here at my college. The quick urine dip showed positive for blood, so the sample was sent to the hospital to get checked under a microscope. It came back as positive for blood, but no signs of infection. The doctor at the infirmary seemed a little concerned and confused. I am supposed to go back on monday to get another test done. I'm a little freaked out! It is not enough blood that I can see it when I pee... Does anyone know what could cause this? Because i'm going to worry til I know whats wrong. Any opion would be appreciated!

I guess no one knows. Heres whats going on now though. I went back to the infirmary today and got another urinalysis done. The blood was low enough not to make a difference, and they told me to come back if I was having any symptoms. I'm not having bad symptoms, like pain or anything. But I am peeing all the time! So still, if anyone has any opinions, let me know.

I just had a bladder infection (for me, it's the first one I ever had) and the doctor prescribed this medication. After I started taking it (I don't know if it's related to the medication or what), I started urinating blood clots. It doesn't hurt when I urinate like when I had the infection, but seeing all this blood and all these clots is really scaring me. Unfortunately, I don't have any answers either. Seeing how this post is from 3 years ago, did you find any additional info on it?
