Blood in urine

[AnxiousMumma 4]

I am freaking out. I randomly had a urine test and dr detected blood. Did another one about a week later and still detected blood. Now I have had a pelvic CT with contrast to check for kidney stones which found nothing. So I am supposed to do another urine sample this week and/or just go for a pelvic ultrasound but I’m terrified I have bladder cancer. 
 

I am on 20mg of Lexapro but it’s not helping me at the moment. What do others take when things are heightened in these sorts of scenarios? The medication is fine when I don’t have any health issues like I have at the moment. I don’t know what else I can take so I’m not so “on the edge” till I see my dr at the end of the week and also so I don’t freak out even worse at the ultrasound if the technician says something stupid to trigger me even further.

Anyone would be upset or worried so don't be too hard on yourself. A friend of mine urinated bright red blood for around 2 weeks and a cause was never found. You may have an infection. When I was 25 I remember going to the bathroom and when I wiped the tissue was covered in blood and the toilet bowl water was all red. I had an immediate meltdown and had myself dead and buried. It turned out to be nothing serious.

Your nerves wpuld be normal.  The tests are to see where the problems are coming from.  Cancer is a bit of a stretch.  It's probably an infection.  Stay hydrated.

Do you take aspirin and/ or bike, run, exercise strenuously? 

98% of people over 65 will show 'blood' in a random urine test.  Sometimes they have pink urine and other times have zero symptoms.  I had pink urine twice at around 68 and was taking daily aspirin and only notice the pink after 3 hours at the gym.

MARCH (think soldiers) hematura is when small amount of blood is found in the urine of bikers, runners, military, etc. 

Are you a hairdresser?
Do you smoke?

If the answers are 'no', your chance of bladder cancer is around zero.
