I have Blood in my Urine..Please Help!!!?

Question

I went to go to the bathroom and noticed the color of my urine was a slighty darkish red color...not too red..but you could tell it wasn't the normal yellow or white color. I'm scared and not sure what it could be. I am 30 years old....

Someone with any advice is very much appreciated! Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

You have a bladder infection

Answer 2

Sometimes blood in the urine is a sign of a more serious problem in the urinary tract. Other times it is not serious and requires no treatment.
When there is enough blood to be visible, the urine may look pinkish, red, or smoky brown (like tea or cola). This is called gross or frank hematuria. It takes very little blood in urine to be visible —about one fifth of a teaspoon in a half quart of urine.

Older adults, especially men, have hematuria more often than younger people because they are more likely to take medications that can irritate the urinary tract or to have enlargement of the prostate or cancer. \

Blood in the urine can come from any condition that results in infection, inflammation, or injury to the urinary system.

The most common causes in people younger than 40 years are "stones" in the kidneys or ureters and urinary tract infections.

These may cause hematuria in older people, but cancers of the kidney, bladder, and prostate become a more common concern with people older than 40 years.

Some causes of hematuria are serious, others are not. Your health care provider will do tests to help tell the difference.

My advice would be to try to make an immediate appointment with your Primary Health Provider, if that isn't possible then make a visit to the ER.. better safe than sorry.

If you've had any lower back pain/discomfort, it could very well be a kidney stone . . . which are painful, but are not life threatening. I've had several. Could be an infection, too, which would show up when they test your urine. Bottom line is not to panic . . . it's probably nothing. But go see a doctor now to make sure.

Answer 4

My doctor told me you only pass urine one of two ways. Kidney stones or bladder problems. I'm pretty sure there are other ways too, but that's what he said.
Have you been experiencing any back pain? You should go to the emergency room, and get it checked out.
Good Luck.

Answer 5

I had blood in my urine and it turned out to be cancer. It could be an infection of the kidney, bladder or prostate gland. Or it could be cancer.

I would advise you to go to a doctor and have it checked out immediately.

Answer 6

you could possibly have a kidney infection or kidney stone. go to the dr. and you can get an antibiotic to clear it up. if it is a stone then you would probably be having alot of back pain(lower back) just get to your dr. you will be ok.

Answer 7

This could be kidney stones, or kidney infection. Have it checked out by a doctor.

Answer 8

It could be serious, kidney stones or worse, sorry to alarm you but you should get to a doctor as soon as possible.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Go to your doctor ASAP. You could of had something rupture inside you, stones in your kidneys, anything. Dont sit on this one. I hope you turn out o.k.

Answer 11

GO SEE A DOCTOR RIGHT NOW! BLOOD IN URINE IS NOT NORMAL AT ALL. CAN BE INDICATIVE OF KIDNEY STONES TO CERTAIN FORMS OF CANCER.
