Trying to get answers

Thanks for your response. I have had recurrent UTIs in the past with a history of pyelonephritis several years back. I wasn't sure if I needed to go immediately to a urologist, so I started with my GP who is usually very good at referrals.

Hopefully, we will have more answers after tomorrow.

Many prayers for you all, and I appreciate all your information.

Thanks so very much! I probably would not be so concerned, but there is a very strong family history on my mother's side for cancer of all types. I realize that many of you are dealing with much more serious issues than I am currently, and I appreciate you taking the time to encourage me in this circumstance.

There are a ton of reasons for blood in urine and the more you search the more you will see that it isn't always resolved or root cause discovred. Continue to advocate!!!! I am lucky enough to be in an HMO whose sole focus these days is early detection and preventative medicine, so I was scheduled for a CT scan and they were able to tell easiely that I had an 8mm mass in my bladder and my resection is tomorrow. I went the doctor after a really bloody day of urine.

Keep after them!!! A CT scan according to my Urologyst is the least invasive way to see everything, which is why they go there rather than straight to the Cytoscope, which is uncomfortable.

Recently, we had a gal on the boards who experienced the same as you, turned out she had a boulder kidney stone and needed surgery to remove it. Don't take no for an answer when it comes to your health.
