Question: I'm a diabetic type 2. over the last few weeks I've been urinating more often. so I went in and saw my doctor. They found a trace of blood in my urine. They are sending me to a urologist. The ER doctor to me this morning that 93 percent of people that have small amount of blood in their urine find that it's nothing. Should I be worried?

You are known to have type 2 diabetes and facing problem of frequent urination with trace of blood on microscopic examination of urine .

The frequent urination with trace of blood in urine may be due to Uncontrolled Diabetes with Mild infection of Bladder (Cystitis).

Consult qualified Urologist for clinical and Digital Rectal Examination and get following basic tests done to establish diagnosis
1) Urine routine and Urine culture
2) Ultrasound Scanning of abdomen
3) Blood sugar levels both fasting and post lunch

There is nothing to be worried about .

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
