Good Afternoon. I have just joined this forum, because I need information and guidance. I am a 52-year-old female who has just experienced gross amounts of blood in urine with no pain or other symptoms of bladder or kidney infection. I also had a hysterectomy over twenty-years ago. I formerly worked for a urologist, so I am aware of just enough to be dangerous to myself. I contacted my general practitioner after the first event, and she got me in immediately for a bladder and kidney ultrasound along with a urinalysis. I received a call the next day (which happened to be Friday) from the nurse stating that my ultrasound looked pretty normal, and there was microscopic blood in the urine specimen, but my doctor wants me to come in Monday for a pelvic exam. Is this standard procedure for a diagnosis? I am still having the bleeding issue, but it is not every time I urinate. I am very confused and, to say the least, a little frightened. Please let me know if we are on the right track for diagnosis. Thanks and many prayers for all of you.
