I am a 43yr old British White Male in generally good health. There is no family history of any specific cancers.

It started 6 weeks ago when all of a sudden i needed to pee a lot, i visited my GP who took a sample and did a dip stick test both negative). A week later with the symptoms not getting any better i returned to my gp who carried out another urine sample and this time traces of blood appeared (not visible). They sent another sample off to get tested and again came back negative, they also gave me medication for a suspected uti (nothing changed). In the meantime i visited my sexual health clinic where again found no infection (blood still in urine - not visible).

I am starting to worry that its more sinister and would like some advice from an expert.I have now been booked in for a Cystoscopy on Monday. What would you thoughts be and am i worrying more than i should be?

    Hi guys

    After all tests were clear and blood has disappeared from urine the urologist has basically said its idiopathic (no cause). Apparently very common!! 

    Hope you guys are well and things have improved. I would personally like to thank you both for putting my mind at ease during the stressful period. 

    Thanks

    Jason
