Blood clots a few months ago in urine

Recommended Posts

Hi all, I'm a 41 male and back in October I had a few blood clots show up in my urine.  I went to my regular doc who then sent me to a urologist.  My regular doc didn't find anything and wasn't worried about cancer.  I had an ultrasound of my kidneys, bladder, and prostate and it was clear.  My urologist wasn't worried about cancer either and kept reassuring me that it wasn't going to be any life changing and thought I might get a CT scan just to put my mind at ease.  However, I haven't gone for the CT yet.  The last clot I saw was around October 25th and saw my urologist on November 21st.  I haven't seen anything since then.  I'm worried that I messed up not getting the CT and now there will be cancer and it will be too late to do anything about it.  I just keep trying to remember that my urologist reassured me that there wasn't anything to worry about.

If your doctor was the least bit concerned more tests would have been ordered so I would not worry.

Yeah he had said that he basically ordered the CT so I might know what caused it in case I was on vacation and started to see it again I wouldn't freak out. But he kept telling me it wasn't anything life changing.

I remember once I was in Starbucks going to the bathroom and suddenly I had difficulty peeing and then a stone and a little blood came out and I almost had a meltdown. I called my doctor and went to see him and it was nothing. Another time, blood came out in my semen and I almost had another meltdown. Again it was nothing.

I just had a CT scan done and seems it was clear. I still have to go for a cystoscopy tomorrow. Super nervous about that.

Good luck. I had a friend of mine a few years ago who urinated red blood for two weeks straight. A definite  cause was never found. It went away on its own. They thought it may have been from a kidney stone. He had many tests too.

Yeah I had the cystoscopy today and nothing was found so sounds like I'm good. He took urine for a cytology but not sure why.

I'm trying to tell myself that I can put this behind me. Ultrasound, CT scan, cystoscopy were all clear. Urologist said even if I have microscopic bleeding, he still wouldn't need to see me for 5 years. I know I should take this and move on.
