Blood In Urine (no Bacteria?) Posted: 03-16-06 19:01pm
I am 21 weeks pregnant and visibly
urinating blood and blood clots. I just
had my urine analysis and there is no
bacteria to be found. I had groin pain
and lower back pain yesterday, but not
today. Frequent trips to the bathroom (up
to 6 trips an hour) passing blood every
time. Being that I have had a difficult
pregnancy my doctor is just relieved that
the blood is not vaginal this time. He
seems to be not so concerned about the
blood in the urine. I am. I have never
had anything like this and he said it
could be a kidney stone but doubtful
because of the lack of pain. He seems
unconcerned of the source.
I was wondering if someone would be able
to tell me what this might be?... Should
I be concerned or am I just over reacting?
P.S. I have had extreme pain on both
sides under my rib cage with bone pain
since I was 8 wks so I can't tell if there
is anything different there.
Body temp is 98.0, blood pressure 124/60

Could be uti, kidney infection, kidney
stones, everyone has a different pain
tolerance so you may not be feeling it as
bad as others do, as for pain under ribs I
dont know(you kidneys are located kinda
near ur love handles but on ur back)

There is no bacteria so they said it can't
be a uti, or kidney infection. I talked
to my doc again and he is sending me in
for a renal ultrasound to look at my
kidneys. We'll see if a stone is found.

Kidney.. Posted: 03-17-06 15:09pm
That happened to me when I wasn't
pregnant. It hurt.. I sure hope that
you're feeling better. I was able to take
pain killers, and to help I would drink
cranberry juice.. Which is gross so, I
added carbonated water to it.. I forget
what its called it's in a green glass
bottle in the water section and starts
with 'p' lol it made the stone pass, and
bye to back pain! Good luck. I hope you
give this a try.

unless there taking a sterile pee by
catheter there is going to be bacteria in
sample u gave the dr I would go see him
again cause hes full of caca!! You
naturally have bacteria on the skin of
vagina(even if u wash 300 times) anyways
when u pee in the bottle some of the pee
is contaminated with abit of bacteria.

I think the doc must have meant harmful
bacteria, diamond.
