    Blood in my urine
    Every time I go to the doctor there is blood in my urine. This has been going on since 2002. At that time I had a bunch of tests and there was no findings. So I did not pursue further testing as I feel fine. I went for my physical and my doctor suggested I go to a urologist just to make sure I'm okay. Well I'm moving in three weeks and doubt I'll get an answer before my insurance runs out. Can this be a potentially serious problem, and if so, what kind of problems are associated with this?

    Physicians worry about this because blood in the urine can be caused by infections, bladder cancer, kidney disease, and other serious conditions. Many of these have no early-warning symptoms. Definitely see the urologist.

    See the urologist. Is the blood visible to you as you pass the urine or does it only show up in tests (which are obviously a lot more sensitive than the naked eye.)? If the various tests you've had have shown nothing then it could be kidney stones, although these are usually accompanied by a great deal of pain so when that's the case there's no second guessing.
