Q: Blood In Urine (no Bacteria?)

I am 21 weeks pregnant and visibly urinating blood and blood clots. I just had my urine analysis and there is no bacteria to be found. I had groin pain and lower back pain yesterday, but not today. Frequent trips to the bathroom (up to 6 trips an hour) passing blood every time. Being that I have had a difficult pregnancy my doctor is just relieved that the blood is not vaginal this time. He seems to be not so concerned about the blood in the urine. I am. I have never had anything like this and he said it could be a kidney stone but doubtful because of the lack of pain. He seems unconcerned of the source.

I was wondering if someone would be able to tell me what this might be?... Should I be concerned or am I just over reacting?

P.S. I have had extreme pain on both sides under my rib cage with bone pain since I was 8 wks so I can't tell if there is anything different there.

Body temp is 98.0, blood pressure 124/60

Could be uti, kidney infection, kidney stones, everyone has a different pain tolerance so you may not be feeling it as bad as others do, as for pain under ribs I dont know(you kidneys are located kinda near ur love handles but on ur back)

Not An Infection

There is no bacteria so they said it can't be a uti, or kidney infection. I talked to my doc again and he is sending me in for a renal ultrasound to look at my kidneys. We'll see if a stone is found.

Kidney..

That happened to me when I wasn't pregnant. It hurt.. I sure hope that you're feeling better. I was able to take pain killers, and to help I would drink cranberry juice.. Which is gross so, I added carbonated water to it.. I forget what its called it's in a green glass bottle in the water section and starts with 'p' lol it made the stone pass, and bye to back pain! Good luck. I hope you give this a try.

unless there taking a sterile pee by catheter there is going to be bacteria in sample u gave the dr I would go see him again cause hes full of caca!! You naturally have bacteria on the skin of vagina(even if u wash 300 times) anyways when u pee in the bottle some of the pee is contaminated with abit of bacteria.

I think the doc must have meant harmful bacteria, diamond.
