Urine Dip Tests Show Hematuria, Sporadic Bladder Pain. History Of Kidney Stones. Could This Be Spasms?
I am a 45 yr old female with hx of kidney stones . Thru out this year i have done urine dip tests and every time it shows hematuria even though i cant see any blood. I havent had any other symptoms until here lately. My bladder hurts but no infection. The pain was sporadic episodes. I dont drink much water at all. I increased my water intack and drank cranberry juice and that helped. Could this be spasms?

Hi
Thanks for the query.
If your urine shows blood and you have ongoing pain it could be recurrent stones.
You need to see a nephrologist/urologist who will advice further tests including complete urinalysis, culture and US of the kidneys and determine what the underlying cause is.
Mean while you can continue the high fluid intake.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
