Blood in urine but CT scan was clear
Posted , 3 users are following.
To keep it short. Around a month ago I thought I passed a kidney stone and thus was followed by leaking blood stained urine for 2 days. I was diagnosed with passing a kidney stone and a UTi and prescribed antibiotic
Nitrofurantoin which I took for 7 days though it made me feel like hell. Then I was clear of blood for a few days and unwisely started hauling watering cans and bleeding started again. Went to A&E and spent day there bring tested. All clear including urine test and complete CT scan. All blood tests clear. Bleeding from bladder continued in a very small leak kind of way. Phoned GP and was diagnosed likely burst blood vessel in bladder area (do not know technical name.) That was last thursday. She recommended filling bladder area with antiseptic cream to allow it to heal . Seemed to work . Now it is Sunday and bleeding has started again, more red blood like first time around. Seems no point in returning to A&E as have had all their tests and CT scan and had all clear only 10 days ago. Any suggestions ? Any one had a similar burst blood vessel?

Hello,
Can you send your analytics including the onces they performed on the urine (dip stick & urinalysis). It be nice to cross out first a renal problem.

The first urine test, after I first experienced blood stained fluid leaking from bladder, and before taking antibiotics, found high level of pus/ nitrates in blood. I was not given actual figures. This leak followed kidney stone type symptoms - which cleared when leaking started. Leaking copious and lasted two days.
Visited doctor and diagnosed with UTI caused by trapped kidney stone which she said had passed out and relieved pressure on kidney leading to escape of fluid. Prescribed antibiotic Nitrofurantoin . This relieved symptoms but did not completely clear leak. Then I made mistake of carrying heavy watering cans . This caused brief bleeding from bladder.
Visited A&E where given " full range" of "standard" blood tests, urine test and CT kub scan. Told all normal and no kidney stones. Not told what blood tests were or any actual numbers. Discharged.
However continue to leak blood stained watery fluid, from bladder, quite separate from urination - ( urine is clear and am not incontinent) . Visited GP who examined bladder and said appeared normal externally but diagnosed caruncle ( not visible at entrance.) Prescribed Fuicid antibiotic cream. Did not help . Blood stained leak continues. Was not present before original leak.
No one seems to have much idea how to treat a caruncle , if that is what it is . Symptoms are same, on smaller scale, as original leak but all tests show me as free of any infection. No leak or caruncle diagnosis before current problem started. Could something be missed?
