I am a 17 year old female. I went to get my sports physical and they informed me there was a trace of blood in my urine. I have to urinate in a cup and take it back for further examination. My period is not for another 20 days. There isn t any stinging or discomfort when I go to the bathroom. I am concerned and wanted to know what the issue could be?
Hematuria(blood in urine) may be due to many reasons like urinary tract infection(UTI),calculus in genitourinary tract etc. You need proper clinical examination and further investigations. Investigations include routine hemogram,random blood sugar,liver function test,urine RE/ME,renal function test,ultrasound of abdomen. Ultrasound of abdomen can exclude many possibilities. CT scan of abdomen can be done if needed. Proper treatment depend upon findings.
