Blood in urine

Alien probing.

They have returned.

It sounds like a urinary tract infection.

Urinary tract infection.

Cranberry juice (with little or no apple juice added, and as low in added sugars as you can get) will help with symptoms. Some say it cures it but I don't know how true that is -- will probably keep it from becoming a kidney infection, unless it already is. Cranberry pills are available if you can't drink the juice.

Drink tons of water.

Do you have other health problems? The first time, that wasn't UTI? No pain?

I have some cranberry pills and just took 2. I just really feel like I need to pee right now yet I don't. It is a weird feeling. My lower back feels "tight." Like I need to stretch.

The first time this happened, 2 years ago, no pain. Not even the urgency to go like now. It just lasted for several months. I stopped short of them running a camera up my pee hole.

you need to go to the doc for antibiotics. It will get worse OP. good luck to you and I wish you a full and speedy recovery.

I'm calling at 8am to make an appointment.

Yep, if you're feeling it in your lower back, OP, then it's already at the kidneys.

Don't fuck around, go to a doc right away. That needs treatment.

Yeah, get a nap in, set the alarm and call the doctor the second their office opens. If he or a nurse practitioner can't see you today then make a trip to the ER. (Or an urgent care clinic if you have any good ones around; ours won't do anything, not even set broken bones or give antibiotics.)

Yes, if it's a UTI, it will get worse. You need antibiotics.

Cranberry juice won't kill an infection. It has properties that may prevent bacteria from growing if consumed regularly.

Should have added, the cranberry juice may help prevent future infections.

PLUG IT UP! PLUG IT UP! PLUG IT UP!

My pee also has a really strong odor to it, too.

Really dumb question, but, you haven't been eating a lot of beets have you? I know this makes me sound like a total moron, but last year I started eating a ton of beets - had them in nearly every salad I made for lunch, often had a few slices with dinner etc. Started peeing red, couldn't get in to see my doctor for a week and assumed I was dying, until I had a two day space without beets and realized - fucking idiot - it was the beets turning my pee red, not blood.

I'm sure it's not that, because no one could possibly be as stupid as I was. But, report back after your dr. visit, OP!

[quote]you haven't been eating a lot of beets have you?

No.

Oh, then it's probably just penile cancer.

I kid, I kid. Hope it all goes well. Keep us posted!

Try cranberry juice unsweetened and undiluted that they sell at health foods stores. Drink a cup in the morning and again at night. Do this at least for three days. If it's an infection this will help. Do not drink the cranberry juice cocktail type, it's watered down and sweetened. Also don't drink alcohol or carbonated drinks until your symptoms go away. If this doesnt help see a doctor or urologist.

Also start drinking more water... sometimes kidney pain can be indickative (intended) of dehydration.

Peeing blood and the doctor didn't run a series of tests in you? Peeing blood is serious.

Stop sounding immediately!

Was the doctor you saw a urologist? If not, then you need to see one now.

Why did you have to drink a chalky drink? Where they looking for stones in your GI tract?

Whenever I defecate there is usually about two liters of semen. And I love it.

Re r3: not grocery store cranberry juice, though, OP; get the concentrated liquid Cystex from Amazon. I take a tablespoon daily per advice from my urologist.

[quote]About 2 years ago I was peeing blood (a pinkish color) for several months. I went to the doctor.

After several months? Oh my. You needed to see your doctor immediately.

Are you old? You know, like 29 and up?

You can purchase AZO tablets at the pharmacy to help with the pain until you can see a doctor.

See a Urologist.

For an appointment, not for dinner and a movie. . . . . . .

Your symptoms sure sound almost exactly like when I had kidney stones, but even then my pee didn't turn pinkish but doctors tested my urine and said I had blood in my urine. The feeling of needing to pee and nothing comes out, the back pain, just horrible pain all over.

Thank God for the morphine drip they gave me for the pain, this was years and years ago when they still hospitalized you for kidney stones, they gave me a saline IV on full drip. Made me drink tons of water and strain my urine. I have never peed so much in my life. I wasn't allowed any solid foods only clear liquids (meaning no milky fluids). Tea, apple juice, cranberry juice, jello and tons of water. A nurse would come in every hour and make me drink as much water as I could take. I was peeing every half hour. I was in the hospital for 5 days and they never found a kidney stone, but thankfully 40 years later I have never had another episode.

What's your PSA?

What's going on with your prostate? Has it been checked?

Strange, that wasn't checked. Or, if it was, you didn't mention it.

Prostate problems proliferate, and the symptoms you mention could also apply.

Just got back from the doctor/pharmacy.

He is sending off a urine sample, should hear by Friday, and has put me on Cipro for 10 days.

X-rays can't see organs. I'm surprised he didn't order an MRI.

Cipro before the test results are in? Maybe it's not a bacterial infection.

I was also going to say kidney stones since I had some blood in my urine when I had it.

I nearly died from sepsis when I had a UTI. Get to a doctor as soon as you can.

I believe that the possibility sepsis is the reason Cipro is prescribed.

[quote] I went to the doctor. No infection, no stones. They made me drink a chalky milk type drink

A chalky aftertaste, you say?

Uh-oh.

Cipro is a broad spectrum antibiotic commonly prescribed for UTIs. The doctor can quickly assess for presence of WBCs in urine which indicates bacterial infection. What he is waiting for are the culture results - based on the specific bacteria present in the culture, you may need to switch antibiotics.

And you're still alive?

Didn't one of our posters say Cipro destroyed his life?

You've got the classic signs of a UTI. Hopefully your dr will ask for tests for kidney function as well. Make sure you take the full course of antibiotics and if the infection comes back, you will need much stronger ones. In your place, I would go to a urologist. Hope you feel better and get it sorted out.

Also - regarding prostate issues - the PSA is only 35% accurate; for an accurate result, you need a prostate ultrasound.

Still alive.

My pee looks like tea still.

[quote]X-rays can't see organs. I'm surprised he didn't order an MRI.

I believe the MRI was what i had before. I drank this thick substance that was scented banana flavor and then laid down on a table and slid into a machine. They said they could find nothing wrong.

I'm just scared that I'm going to have to have that cystoscopy done. I have a fear of catheters or anything going in my pee hole.

Urinalysis came back with no infection detected.

I've been looking online and feel I might have Interstitial cystitis.

Oops, wrong thread. I meant to say to the OP that IC also crossed my mind. I have only ever heard of women getting it however.

Unitary AIDS. You in danger, gurl.

[quote]I have only ever heard of women getting it however.

Women are 10x more likely to get it than men but we still do.

It deals with the constricting of the bladder muscles even when the bladder isn't full.

Happens to most men in their 30s-40s. I'll be 40 in a few weeks.

OP why are you angry with youself?

Hmm, this is odd. I know that felling wanting to go but cant, its from a kidney stone. They can be smaller then a grain of sand so you may never even see it. In that case, start drinking a lot more water. Your normal pee should be very light yellow almost clear if you are getting enough water. And you need to keep that up on a regular basis. The smell and color I have had before too. In that case it was a UTI. It cleared up on its own with a lot of cranberry. I drank a small cup throughout the day for about a week. Went through about 2 large 1/2 gallons. I have also has the scope up my piss slit into my bladder. Doctor was looking for cancer, found nothing. He told me the tube that goes from the kidneys to the bladder is like the thickness of a hair. So even something like a grain of sand can scrape the sides going down and cause bleeding. The blood could also be from some kind of minor tear. If you do really strenuous exercises like sit ups with weights or something similar could cause this. I agree with the others, you really need to see a doctor and figure this one out. Dont let them just write it off without an answer.

Hate to be graphic but one time after not jerking off for two weeks (working a lot) my cum load was brown. I freaked out called the doctor. He just kind of chucked and said I need to clean my pipes on a regular basis. It was blood coming from some minor tear. He said it was very common. Sure enough, I fallowed DR orders jerk off every day and I am cured!

My guess is you are not drinking enough fluids, but I am not a doctor. In theory, you should be drinking about a 2 liter soda bottle amount of water or fluid per day. If you are taking meds, this is even more important. Lots of medications from HIV to everything else under the sun will dehydrate you. Thats actually how I got my first kidney stone forcing me to the ER. Side effect of medication I was on.

Also, keep taking the Cipro until you see the doctor again. Some tests are not that accurate. Cloudy pee also says UTI. Especially if it really smells bad. Good news is, from your MRI sounds like you dont have a stone or other major internal problem like cancer.

I've peed a few times today and so far it has been yellow.

That's good news OP.

Great to hear, OP, keep us posted.

Well it is back.

Looks like I need to go see a urologist.

My family has no real history of cancer but I'm scared I either have bladder or kidney cancer.

Could be bladder cancer, are you or have you been a smoker? Smokers have the highest incidents of bladder cancer. Fortunately, bladder cancer is one cancers that most often is controllable.

Best of luck, I've got my fingers crossed for you. Oh, if you are older, thats another point in your favor with bladder cancer.

God, good luck to you, Keep going to the doctor and maybe ask to see a specialist.

[quote]Could be bladder cancer, are you or have you been a smoker?

Never smoked.

[quote]Oh, if you are older, thats another point in your favor with bladder cancer.

I'll be 40 on Wednesday.

I have an appointment Monday morning at 9am to see a urologist.

You're in my thoughts OP. I hope everything is ok and maybe you just need a different antibiotic.

See an urologistor or a nephrologist (kidney specialist), I had similar symptoms, a cat scan revealed a huge cyst on one of my kidneys. It was to late to save it, but you can live normally with a single kidney

LUPUS flare-up!

OP, have they run blood work on you? They should have checked that as well to make sure your kidney function is normal.

Finally saw the urologist, or rather his nurse practitioner today. Had an ultrasound of my bladder (no blockages) and an x-ray (no visible stones).

Next up is an injection of dye into my pelvis on the 19th. She seems to think I may have tiny, non-visible stones since my hypertension medication has a side effect that causes...kidney stones. We'll see. It would also explain why I had this same situation two+ years ago and it went away...I had passed the stone but never felt it.

She pretty much ruled out cancer and said my kidneys were functioning perfectly so we'll just have to see what the next step says. I did give another urine and blood sample today so that will officially rule out cancer.

I told her I was scared of the cystoscopy and running a tube up my peehole, but she says it is simple and only lasts 90 seconds to 4 minutes and I'm numbed with lidocaine. And I may not even have to have it.

I think that sounds like pretty good news, OP.

Could be pancreatic cancer

[quote]Could be pancreatic cancer

I haven't experienced any abdominal pain, weight loss, diarrhea, or jaundice.

OP, you do realize the level of people that are giving you advice?

Cranberry juice is an old wives tale. Get to a doctor. Do you have a dose? Who have you been sleeping with?

R69, read the whole thread dumbass

[R70] 8 previous posts about cranberry juice and you just wake up now?

Always good to hear from the sharpest tack.

I have a theory. It is my theory. This is the theory that is mine: You have urine, and inside your urine there is blood. That is my theory, it is mine and belongs to me, and I own it and what it is, too.

I read the thread and a lot of people seemed to think cranberry juice would make a difference.

What about BUBBLES every time I urinate?

Your Prep has failed and you have HIV5

what about the smell of ammonia when you pee?

Does it stink, OP?

When I pee, it's all wet...

Why... WHY?!?!?!?

Hey op if you need a cystoscopy that numbing stuff doesn't really help when the camera enters your bladder, maybe it does when they first insert it into the dick, but in my experience its pretty horrible. Not saying that to scare you, but you could be blindsided by the pain. I had issues with blood in my pee too so I hope everything checks out for you.

It is official...I'm getting a camera up my peehole on August 30th.

I had a CT Scan and met with the urologist today and he said my kidneys and everything above my bl;adder are functioning perfectly. No hidden stones.

Now he thinks I might have a tear in my bladder that he can cauterize when he runs the camera up there. I'll be completely knocked out and he said it should last about 15 minutes.

Please don't use the adolescent word "peehole" when speaking with the urologist.

OP, if you're going to have that procedure with some form of anesthesia please have it done at a hospital, not a doctor's office. If this doctor won't do that find one who will or go to a doctor who works out of a hospital. Make sure a real anesthesiologist is there, not just any doctor or nurse. Remember what happened to Joan Rivers.

R82 is one paranoid bitch. Its not the same as Joan Rivers, he was on general Anastasia, they put her out completely. They dont do that for a simple procedure like this. How do I know? Because I have had both a colonoscopy and cystoscopy done in the last couple of years. The urologist I went to was in his office with medical rooms not a hospital. The first visit was a test the get samples, I had to come back for the actual procedure. It was no big deal. They asked if I wanted to be something to relax me and I said yes. Nuse came in, put in an IV and 2 minutes later the next thing I remember is the doctor saying were done, didn't find anything.

OP dont freak out, its a common thing to have blood in your pee for a whole host of reasons. They never figured out what caused mine and it went away on its own. Most likely it was a very small kidney stone the size of a grain of sand. Even something that small can cause bleeding because the tube that connects your kidney to your bladder is shockingly thin, about the width of a hair. Its like trying to shove a jagged rock through a hose. People without knowledge of kidney stones think its all about the penis which it is not. At that point its an easy exit.

Today is the day.

In 2 hours I'll have a camera in my peehole!

I hope I don't have cancer.

Best of luck OP. My thoughts will be with you. Please let us know how you are when you're feeling up to it.

No cancer. I have to get a second one done with a longer scope. He thinks I have a leaking or popped vein near my kidney and today's scope wasn't long enough to cauterize it.

It burned when I first peed but I've already drank 80 oz of water and the burning is starting to subside. Plus he gave me a med called Uribel to take. Cipro, too.

Good luck, OP. I had a scope done in my bladder one time and it burned so badly when I woke up. I thought the burning would never subside.

Yeah, R87, the burning woke me up as I was peeing into a plastic jug urinal. Whatever is going on is in my ureter.

Did he put you straight onto Truvada?

Uribel

Now I pee blue.

Blue piss? I think your transitioning into a Smurff!

Burning when you pee is totally normal after something has been shoved up your shaft. Its not comfortable but its normal. Its from scraping the very delicate lining of your urethra. If he lubed it up enough and totally sterile then you should not have that problem. Guys that play with sounds in their dick are very familiar with this issue after play. Should go away in a day or two.

Can't you get a second opinion? And a referral to a urologist. A GP just has 5 minutes or 10 minutes at most to diagnose, do a couple of tests, and send you on your way. I'd be getting my ass to see a specialist pronto.

48 hours later and I feel nothing when I pee now. Last night I was just feeling a slight tingling sensation when I was done but now it is nothing.

[quote]Can't you get a second opinion? And a referral to a urologist.

I just had the cystoscopy done by the urologist. He said my bladder is fine. No growths or abnormalities. He did cauterize a tear near my prostate and said my blood work is all good. No abnormalities on my cell counts, etc... He needs to do a second cysto to go further in my kidneys and cauterize that popped or leaking vein in my ureter.

You probably had the tear near your prostate from over-aggressive fucking, so you should now become a top to rest your ass for a while.

So what's the latest op? ...been thinking about ya.
