Hello,

I can honestly tell you that something similar just happened to me. You should definitely go see a urologist if you can. My uro gynecologist nurse just told me that just because you have blood in your urine, does not mean its an infection. Typically, urologist like to send your urine out for a culture to be certain. I am scheduled to have a cystoscopy to find out why I am having similar symptoms like yours.
