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.

This most commonly represents blood in the semen.  Irritation or infection is thought to be the cause  - but causes are rarely discovered.  Get evaluated by an MD, consider seeing a Urologist.  Perisistence for 6 months deserves a thourough workup (by a Urologist).  Blood in the urine needs an evaluation straight away.  If you are a smoker you are at increased risk for Urologic cancers among other things.  The safest thing to do is to be evaluated to have you particualr situation fully assesed (talking to a doc and having an exam maybe a test or two of the urne) and go from there.  The vast majority fo cases of blood in the semen are benign and resolve on their own so don't be too worried.

It could also be pus in your urine (called pyuria).  You definitely need to go see your doctor and have it checked out though.

Blood in the stool can be bright red, maroon in color, black and tarry, or occult (not visible to the naked eye). Causes of blood in stool range from harmless, annoying conditions of the gastrointestinal tract such as hemorrhoids to serious conditions such as cancer. Blood in the stool should be evaluated by a healthcare professional. \n\nRectal bleeding (known medically as hematochezia) refers to passage of bright red blood from the anus, often mixed with stool and/or blood clots. Most rectal bleeding comes from the colon, rectum, or anus. The color of the blood during rectal bleeding often depends on the location of the bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract. Generally, the closer the bleeding site is to the anus, the blood will be a brighter red. Thus, bleeding from the anus, rectum, and the sigmoid colon tend to be bright red, whereas bleeding from the transverse colon and the right colon (transverse and right colon are several feet away from the anus) tend to be dark red or maroon colored. \n\nIn some patients bleeding can be black and “tarry” (sticky) and foul smelling. The black, smelly and tarry stool is called melena. Melena occurs when the blood is in the colon long enough for the bacteria in the colon to break it down into chemicals (hematin) that are black. Therefore, melena usually signifies bleeding is from the upper gastrointestinal tract (for example: bleeding from ulcers in the stomach or the duodenum or from the small intestine) because the blood usually is in the gastrointestinal tract for a longer period of time before it exits the body. Sometimes melena may occur with bleeding from the right colon. On the other hand, blood from the sigmoid colon and the rectum usually does not stay in the colon long enough for the bacteria to turn it black. Rarely, massive bleeding from the right colon, from the small intestine, or from ulcers of the stomach or duodenal can cause rapid transit of the blood through the gastrointestinal tract and result in bright red rectal bleeding. In these situations, the blood is moving through the colon so rapidly that there is not enough time for the bacteria to turn the blood black.\n\nSometimes, bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract can be too slow to cause either rectal bleeding or melena. In these patients bleeding is occult (not visible to the naked eyes). The blood is found only by testing the stool for blood (fecal occult blood testing) in the laboratory. Occult bleeding has many of the same causes as rectal bleeding and may result in the same symptoms as rectal bleeding. It is often associated with anemia that is due to loss of iron along with the blood (iron deficiency anemia).

sounds like a urinary tract infection, see a doctor

This can occur with several different bladder/urinary conditions.  He needs to see a physician, a urologist would be best, to diagnose the exact condition.  I would advise him not to wait because some of these conditions could worsen over time if left untreated and he could end up hospitalized.

Well this depends on what you mean by bubbles in your urine. Do you mean \n\na. You notice bubbles in the toilet after urinating? This could be normal (liquid hitting liquid, causing temporary bubbles) or if the bubbles tend to remain and are frothy with a bluish tinge, this may possibly mean too much protein in your urine (not a good thing), and could indicate kidney disease. Make an appointment to see your physician VERY SOON.\n\nb. or do you mean you notice bubbles in the stream of urine as it is leaving your urethra? If so, this is more serious as the first answerer suggests. This could indicate "pneumaturia" (air in the urine), and could be from what's known as a enterovesicular fistula (an ABNORMAL connection between the urinary bladder and the gastrointestinal tract). These are several causes for this. I won't go into details, just know that it is very seriousl. If THIS is what you are talking about. YOU NEED TO BE SEEN BY A PHYSICIAN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. LET ME SAY THIS AGAIN. SEE A DOCTOR NOW.\n\nFor those of you who are calling the asker stupid, let me inform you that you are in fact idiots. Kindly refrain from answering medical questions if you don't know what you are talking about. If your insensitive answers causes this person to delay seeking treatment it could lead to a more serious situation.

It might but if you are peeing blood you need to see your medical doctor as soon as possible to rule out tumors, bladdere irritation etc.\nYOu also need to have your testicals checked to make sure there is not trauma to it.

In the medical laboratory a urine specimen received for analysis bearing the characteristics you describe could very well indicate a possible liver condition.  A deep yellow or brownish coloration may be due to bilirubin or excessive urobilinogen.  Also through my studies and experience a foamy urine also frequently indicates the prescence of bilirubin.  The smell could be due to infection.  Blood could also very well be found in a urine such as this.  I would think your best move would be to present this information to a medical doctor as soon as possible.  Even if nothing comes of it-I feel like there might be something going on that needs to be addressed quickly.  Better safe than sorry.

It must have something to do with your kidneys. Consult a doctor, you must be thinking derr...could have thought of that myself, but it's the most obvious and useful places. Also try Saw Palmetto capsules. It's for men with Prostate problems, but is good for urine control.

I agree that it could be caused by your prenatal vitamins, if you're using them. The iron and the dyes used in them can affect the color of your urine and feces, both.\n\nMention it to your doctor, just to be on the safe side.\n\nTake care and be well! :)

Do not pee on your hand. It could be a number of things. My first thought is Jaundice. But, only being your hand I not sure. Go here and read; http://www.umm.edu/ency/article/003243.htm

Is the blood coming out of the same place as the urine?  Could be a nasty bladder infection, or a kidney infection.  Get to the dr. girlie.

Sounds like a urinary tract infection, or a kidney stone. You should probably get it checked out. Just to be sure.
