Blood in Urine?

Stop drinking blood...easy.

Doubt that it's related to the foot. Blood in urine may mean a problem with kidneys. Less serious is an irritaion of the bladder. Don't run until the appointment, drink lots of fluids. If it just started and has not been a long-term thing it shouldn't be too hard to clear up.

Early sign a kidney stone is about to move.

Pray it's not. Pray hard.

9 times out of 10 its urinary tract infection

Your doc will take a urine sample...It will show traces of blood cells. He will tell you that you need to see the urologist...which will cost a little more money. Then the Urologist tells you the same thing and that it is your bladder walls slapping against each other and rubbing causing the cells to come loose. You will then be told to drink a little water before you run to try and help this. But all in all, you will live and run and it won't be a kidney stone, cancer, or failing kidney/liver/dorsal fin, etc.

Thanks everyone (I think).

Anyhow, I've peed a few more times (drank some water throughout the morning) and the color is back to normal.

Urinary track infections and kidney stones hurt, no?

Anyhow, thanks so far. Any other thought, would be apprecaited.

By-the-by: the reason I mention the foot is I read in Lore of Running that once in a while, this could be sign that the blood cells are being messed up in the foot (Noakes obviously puts it much better, but I don't have time to go retrieve it).

Friend I know had this happen to him.....and a good thing it did.....He had a cancerous tumor in his bladder that got irritated when he would cycle.....he got home after a 2 hour ride and pee'd a bunch of blood.....had he been some sedentary couch potato, that thing would just gotten worse and then eventually kill him....

First sign of my kidney stone was blood in the urine for a few days. Then it hit me and I thought I was going to die. Wound up in the emergency room due to the pain. Long story short - took 2 weeks to pass, after the first attack pain was pretty minimal due to anti-inflammatories I took(Motrin, Advil).

Probably, and hopefully, not that. But it's one explanantion, and despite the pain it beats anything like cancer(highly unlikely). Good luck.

This happened to me once after an otherwise ordinary 15 mile run. Never happened again. I wouldn't worry about it (or see the doctor) unless it's a regular occurrence.

Easy solution...quit masterbating so much!

yeah i had that happen to me over summer, freaked out just the same, but it's probably nothing...you'll live to run again

Have you by any chance ingested a large amount of beetroot in the recent past. This happened to me once and my piss turned bright red.

stop eating PURINE you bastard.

jane, welcome to womanhood

Yes, I had a shitload of beets last night...really, this could cause discoloration?! THAT would be hilarious (and much welcomed relief)?

I thought you were talking about Nicole Blood.

hematuria isnt uncommon for distance runners-i guess the pounding does some damage. usually its more of a microscopic phenomenon, so if you are seeing frankly bloody urine just get it checked out. i agree that its unlikely a UTI; in men they are pretty uncommon, especially if you arent having any other symptoms like burning, increased frequency. but again a routine urinalysis could rule out infection.

I had heavy blood in urine to include clots passing. It was a 9cm tumor on the kidney. About a month later I was in the Georgetown U hospital having the kidney removed.

Had a streak of almost 5 years(1784 days) that ended. I did run 3 miles before the surgery.

when it gets cold, my dick bleeds. like this one time, did like 4x1200+800, then had to pee, pissed a bit of blood, realized my dick was bleeding, put a bandaid over it, and ran 7x400. but yours sounds more like a bladder or kidney thing, rather than your johnson bleeding
