Visible blood in urine
Posted , 4 users are following.
On 2 occasions in the last 10 months i have passed visible blood in my urine on both occasions it has occurred directly aftee i had been running and cleared up within hours. I went to my drs after both occasions who ordered blood tests and took a sample which both came back normal. As this has now happened twice i have been referred to a urologist...am now pretty worried that something nasty has been left untreated for 10 months.
was just wondering uf anyone gas experienced anything similar?

Hi Trevor,
I posted something similar yesterday. I always seem to pass blood with UTIs. You might have a UTI that's hard to detect in the lab. Have you had any other symptoms - stinging, urgency etc.
If not, what might be more likely in your case is blood in urine due to exertion. I've heard this is not uncommon among athletes, particularly runners. It's harmless but alarming.
Your doctor is bound to want to do further tests if you've had blood without evidence of infection but that is a routine precaution. Hope you get the all clear soon to put your mind at rest. Don't overdo the running!

I think its called exercise hematuria. It happens. I've had it after running but then I have urogenital atrophy so the tissue down there is dry as a bone and used to break open and bleed.
