Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had blood in my urine ten years ago and then 1 1/2 years later. The first experience resulted in cystonomy and ct scan on kidneys and ultrasound. All were negative and dehydration and over exertion was thought the cause. Now for the third time I am having the same problem. Urine culture is negative. I was put on antibiotic as precautionary and after four days I am responding. Should I be worried? I will have followup in two weeks. Could this be my normal to have these episodes?
