A review of wandering around hospitals after reporting hematuria

There was blood in the urine, but since it was at the end of my period, I watched to see if it was menstrual blood or not.
Even though my period has ended, I still have blood in my urine, so I visited the hospital with confidence.
I visited several hospitals, but ultimately the cause was a bacterial infection.

Hello?
When blood appears in the urine, you initially feel panicked.
I'll tell you the story of how I kept going from one hospital to another because of hematuria.
This is the story that happened to me during this week.
I thought it was just menstrual blood because I was on my period.
However, even after the period ended, I could see blood, and it turned out that there was blood coming from my urine.

I was surprised and searched it up, and it could be caused by a simple inflammation, so I went to the internal medicine department for now.
I went to the internal medicine department and was told to do a urine test because there was blood in my urine.
The doctor looked at the urine test results and said there was no significant abnormality in the inflammation levels in the urine.
In such cases, it could be a urinary stone.
So, I was recommended to see a urologist.
In the case of women, they might be confused about whether to visit an obstetrics and gynecology clinic or a urology clinic.
It is said that urinary and bladder issues should be seen by a urologist.
So, when I went there, it happened to be a morning when they were closed.
So I had a blood test and a CT scan at a nearby hospital.
It was my first time having a CT scan, and I found it strange that I felt a sudden heat surge when the contrast agent was injected.
The doctor said that the blood test results are normal and no stones are visible on the CT scan.
So, when I went to the urology department, I noticed blood in my urine, so I did another urine test to find the cause.
Asked if there is any pain when urinating and inquired if there is any discomfort elsewhere.
Urinalysis results showed no blood and were normal.
Bacterial tests and cancer screenings were conducted.
The results came out after a week.

Fortunately, it was not cancer but a bacterial infection.

After receiving medication prescription and taking it, the pain and hematuria have decreased.

Once hematuria occurs, even if it is not visible to the eye

It is recommended to have a follow-up observation once a year.

I have decided to visit next year.

If you notice blood in your urine, please visit the internal medicine department first, followed by urology.
