What Causes Blood In Urine?

I have been tested positive for microscopic blood in my urine, I have no pain, have had kidney and bladder full and empty ultra sound with excellent results in kidneys and no change in the bladder. Doctor advices I see a urologist but I do not want to. What do you think is wrong with me? I am 58 next month and am and have been going through menopause.

Dear- thanks for using our service . Microscopic hematuria has multiples causes. You had an ultrasound that helped to eliminate renal cyst,stones and masses. However,the next step when ultrasound is negative is refer to an urologist for a cystoscopy. This procedure helps to diagnose bladder lesions that are not seen in a regular ultrasound. I advise you to complete the workup in order to cover all the possibilities. If all the work up comes back negative, you might have a benign microscopic hematuria .
I hope that my advise will be helpful and feel free to contact me for any medical advise that you might need.
