Urology - gross hematuria, pelvic pain, no UTI?33F, overweight, white, Canada. History of kidney stones (4 in the last 18 months). Not taking anything to prevent them but Ive reduced sodium and drink a lot of water.In the last 2 months or so Ive had 2 instances of long-ish periods of time where I have visible blood in my urine (sometimes enough that it resembles menstrual blood and other times the tissue is just pink when I wipe) along with abdominal pain and sometimes flank pain. Both times Ive been treated with antibiotics but Ive had negative urine culture. Urinalysis showed blood, mucus and bacteria a couple months ago but Im not sure what my most recent showed. Ive now had blood in my urine since June 26th and what feels like menstrual cramps. I pee fairly often and get up a couple times a night. My last 24 hour urine collection showed big improvements and my kidney ultrasound looked good.Is there anything else this could be besides a UTI? Im hoping my urologist follows up after she called in antibiotics on July 7th.

How were the urine samples collected? I really hope that they didn't just give you a cup to pee in.Macrohematuria in women can be caused by many things, the most common: hemorragical cystitis (infection) or urolithiasis (not just kidney stones but ureter stones or bladder stones) or an urothel carcinom of the bladder/ureter/renal pelvis, rarely but possible with RCC or a urethral caruncle
Pregnant with kidney mass38 yo female 24 weeks pregnant (IVF) History of hydronephrosis (2017) 3.5 cm simple kidney cyst found while hospitalized for it as well as ovarian cystsI am currently 24 weeks pregnant, I had some pretty bad pain in the same kidney that I had hydronephrosis in years before. The pain only lasted for about an hour but I then had what felt like a UTI so I went to the doctor. My urine tests came back fine but my doc requested ultrasound of my kidneys given my history. I went and got it done and received a call the following morning to go straight to ER that I had an abscess so I did (4.7cm). My urine and cbc both came back ok and didnt indicate any infection so they sent me home with order for another kidney ultrasound in two days. I got that done and it came back complex mass 5.7cm with recommendation for MRI that I cannot get done while pregnant. I have been told that its ok to wait these 4 months but I cant help but be terrified in the meantime. I have an appointment with urologist in 2 weeks. What am I really looking at here? On a scale of 1-10 how concerned should I be that this is cancer? Google is really scaring me. I plan to have MRI while in the hospital after I deliver. What can I anticipate at the urology appt? Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading.
Youll have to wait for the imaging study, but the wait shouldnt be a big deal. I prefer CT renal protocol over MRI, but maybe your urologist may feel differently. Based on the report its hard to say exactly whats going on. Theres no mention whether it is solid or not, which is critically important. Maybe just be a benign complex renal cyst. CT or MRI will clarify.Pelviectasis is minimal dilation of the renal pelvis. Based on your symptoms it sounds like you probably have a mild UPJ obstruction causing intermittent pain (Deidls crisis).Edit: spelling
