recent urinalysis shows no infection, but atypical cells? What could cause these and are they serious?

atypical cells can be "normal"  your doctor can answer that question.  we have a number of cells in our body, and those in our blood and urine can be atypical without meaning cancer.  talk with your doctor to be reassured what they mean in your case.

Sweetie, I'm not a doctor but blood in your urine is not a good thing and you are not quailified to analyze your own urine or symptoms. If your Doctor said to see a Urologist, then do it. Now, I do have some medical training and experience and blood in the urine doesn't usually mean a death sentance. It's a precaution your Doctor is taking to rule out a possible serious disorder. Do you really want to take a chance and not look into it? Are you going to stay healthy on heresay? It could be something as simple as an infection whether you have symptoms or not. It's best to find out asap so that it doesn't turn into something serious. Until you get a Medical degree, I wouldn't be second guessing my Doctor. There is nothing to be afraid of. You seem a little prone to denial as well. Would rather have an answer or wait for the problem to get so bad that you need a kidney or something? Get your butt to that Urologist now, Honey. Don't make me come there and put you in time out! Good luck, and please try not to get all upset till you have something to get upset about.

It could be either a urinary tract infection, or bladder infection.  You should really go to a doctor and get an antibiotic cause if you don't you might end up with a kidney infection and that could lead to permanent kidney damage.

At the top of the urinary tract it could be a problem with the kidneys, normally they don't allow blood cells (which is what is detected) to leave the blood vessels, but if they're damaged they can do.\n\nIn the ureter and renal pelvis there could be a stone (renal calculus) which rubs against the walls of the ureter, irritating it, and allowing blood into the tract.\n\nIt could also be a tumor of some descripton.\n\nThing is, few of these things present with no symptoms. Is there anything else?

Could be; (1) a urinary tract infection; (2) anxiety; and (3) enlarged prostate.\n\nRelax when you urinate.  Give yourself time to get out as much urine as possible.\n\nA quick way to alleviate an infection down there:  Drink cranberry juice -- the good kind made out of 100% juice.  There is an acid in there that makes your urine even more acid and bacteria holding onto the walls of the urethra let loose when they encounter increased acidity.  Also drink plenty of water.\n\nIf the problem persists much longer, I suggest you visit your family physician and perhaps a urologist.\n\nGood luck.  Rest assured, you are not the first or last guy to experience this problem.  You'll find a solution.

I have the same problem. I am going to see a Urologist as this has been going on for years. Your Gyno should be your first stop, and I'm sure you do all the instructions from them-( wiping from front to back, urinating after sex, drinking cranberry juice or pills, drinking lots of water and in my case taking an anti biotic after sex). I would say it is time to see a kidney specialist as UTI's are so miserable, and sounds like you have reached tolerance to many antibiotics.

This can be VERY serious. You need too see a Doctor Preferable a Neurologist or Urologist. From the link below.\n\nHematuria is the presence of blood, specifically red blood cells, in the urine. Whether the blood is visible only under a microscope or visible to the naked eye, hematuria is a sign that something is causing bleeding in the genitourinary tract: the kidneys, the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder (ureters), the prostate gland (in men), the bladder, or the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body (urethra). \n\nBleeding may happen once or it may be recurrent. It can indicate different problems in men and women. Causes of this condition range from non-life threatening (e.g., urinary tract infection) to serious (e.g., cancer, kidney disease). Therefore, a physician should be consulted as soon as possible.

This sounds like a kidney and/or bladder infection to me. A simple urine test can tell-- Antibiotics usually knock it right out....

Possible UTI (urinary tract infection)?\n\nShould get the chest pain checked out :-)

You need to find a free or low cost clinic.\nAlthough it could be related to changes in hormone levels, problems related to a hysterectomy, etc. - and it may not be a significant problem it COULD be serious.  There may be a tumor.\nI had a tumor that had attached to my bladder and I had problems urinating.  Please see a doctor - a specialist (urologist).  Even if you have to make payments to the doctor your health is worth it.

Could be gonnorhea or a UTI - you'll have to go and get it checked out.  \n\nIn either case, it's easily treatable with the correct antibiotics.\n\nBe sure to get retested if it turns out to be an STD, to make sure it's gone.
