It could be something simple like a urinary tract infection or a more serious prostate condition. Question your doctor about the blood in your urine. He shouldn't have left you hanging like that. Talk to your doctor!

No one can answer your question with an absolute as for one thing you didn't give your age or say how long you have been experiencing this. The next step is for your doctor to do some more tests; the simple one being to check for a bacterial infection. If there is none and again, you didn't say how long this has been going on or if you have any other symptoms that may indicate a kidney stone, the doc should send you to the Urologist who will probably elect to put his little camera up your tube to look around in the bladder. I could go on more but the rest would depend on all of the above mentioned. I will tell you from experience, a small amount of blood can be nothing and they may never find where it came from. Happened to me about 20 years ago and from then on other then one or two other times, no more blood was ever found. Kidney stones did happen twice, about 5 years apart but those dam things hurt more then childberth (females that have had both told me) and since you didn't mention pain probably not what you have. Just be sure to give your doctor EVERY symptom you have as it will only help him to help you.

I can't understand why the doctor didn't explain it to you, or better yet, why you didn't ask him. Don't you think he'd be better qualified to tell you the exact cause and treatment than we are? I think I would go back to the doctor or call him and ask him specifically why you have blood in your urine, and what can be done about it. Just off hand, I'd say you probably have a urinary tract infection -- either in the bladder or kidneys, and it can be treated with antibiotics. Or it possibly could be something more serious. So get on the phone, or get in your car, and demand some answers from the doc. That's what you're paying him for -- right? Good luck!

Anyone who would tell you that, without doing tests, is dangerous. They would only be speculating. There are numerous reasons that this could occur. So without knowing exactly what the blood is from, it's just a guess. And that could be a big mistake. So, to answer your question. It means you should continue seeing a doctor until HE or SHE tells you what it is and then follow the course of treatment that they prescribe.

Sometimes blood in the urine can be a kidney, urinary tract or bladder infection, it could also mean kidney or bladder cancer. You need to get to a doctor and find out right away.

Urinating at night - nocturia - should be evaluated. It would help to know your age and medical history. Sometimes this is easily treated, and sometimes not. Blood in the urine should always be evaluated.
