Blood In Urine?
Posted , 7 users are following.
Anyone have blood in urine NOT ASSOCIATED with any sort of surgery or procedure? Not just microscopic, but something you could see like the color of ice tea? If so, how often, what tests were run, what was the cause, and how did it get resolved, assuming it did?
I've had this issue on and off for a number of years, both before I started self catherizing, during and now after. Doc wants to do a blood cytology and FISH test to rule out bladder cancer, but didn't mention doing a cystoscopy. I think it's probably more related to my BPH.

Many thnigs can cause blood in the urine. Early in the morning three weeks ago, when I was groggily emptying my bladder and not fully awake, my urine came out a light purple color. Woke up in a hurry! I was thinking I would have to go see a urologist, when I remembered a bowl of very strong, bitter tasting blackberries I had eaten the evening before. I looked up "blackberries+blood in urine" and sure enough, discovered that blackberries (among other things) can discolor the urine.
Good luck getting finding an answer.

Obviously, if it recurs, then it must be investigated, but an isolated event will rarely be of concern. Good luck.
