i recently visited the doctors with a pain near my waist and after providing a urine sample the doctor said there was blood in my urine which was not an infection and is sending me for an ultrasound next week 20/01/15.to say i am worried is an understatement as i have read all sorts of worrying facts on the net,i am a 50 year old male and have noticed for the past year i have been going to the toilet more often i have had the blood tests for prostate cancer which cam back negative so what could it be?am i doomed to have kidney or bladder cancer?i have also lost some weight but nothing alarming at the moment and get a little short of breath and tired,can anyone put my mind at ease please?

    Andrew Try not to worry too much as blood in urine can be caused by about half a dozen reasons Most people worry about it too much including myself Last year I passed some blood, but it was because of a stone in the bladder and strictures .Diabetes, a cyst, stones in the kidneys can also be a cause

    Hi Andrew,

    The same happened to me this week, only the blood was very visible as in it looked like just blood with clots.  I have an appointment for ultrasound and to see urologist 20/1/2015 as well. Hope everything goes well for you as I know how you feel, you cannot help but worry.

      Hi Andrew, thanks for your message - good news then 😊.  My ultrasound scan did not show anything obvious, but I have an appointment for the dreaded cystoscopy in Feb, so...😕.  I have had an ecoli infection though, so hopefully that was what caused the problem.  Hope you go on o.k. with the doc next week - keep me informed x
