I visited a GP in london. He examined my lowerbody as well as prostate but couldnt find any abnormality however they found some blood in my urine. They refered me to urologist. I met him and he also examined my body checked prostate through anus and also took help of a machine or camera like ultrasound. He said that everything is fine however further tests are required. He took my urine and blood sample as has asked me to appear for a special ultrasound for prostate. However he was cery confident yhat nothingvis wrong and medication would fix the issue. My worry was i had blood loss three years ago because lymphoma was pressing kidney resulted in blood fpund in urine however blood reports were also showing low HB and RBC.

In this case blood reports are normal, but they have fpund traces of blood in urine. But urologist is saying that there are chances of infection which would be treated by medicines. I am confused .
