Urine Test Showing RBC Presence. No UTI. Could This Be Due The Use Of Contraceptive Pills?
Hey I had a urine test the other day and my rbc was 16* , doctor said he will re rest in two weeks as there was no uti . Should I be making him do something now? I m not sleeping well and haven t been for a few weeks, I had a ten day bleed over my last period and doctor don t want me to have this period just incase. I started taking yaz ( contraceptive pill) just about a month ago could this have anything to do with with the rbc I m really worried right now!

Hi
Welcome to HCM AND THANKS FOR YOUR QUERY.
Blood in the urine is not related to the pills.
Blood in the urine requires a series of tests to look for infection,stone or tumor/rarely other causes.
Kindly get medical advice and get well soon.

Hi
The most common reason to see RBCs in urine is if the sample has been collected at the time of menses.
Oral contraceptives do not usually cause this.
The appropriate step is to repeat urine analysis with microscopy.
Good luck.
