urine in blood stream after a run

See your doctor again. Seriously,t hat's the onyl advice anyone here should give you.

Assuming your Doc has cleared you of anything pathological, you must be (a) running in extremely hot conditions; (b)not taking in enough water before your run(and not leaving some of it in your bladder - don't piss it all out); or, (c) both of the above.

With the absence of kidney/bladder problems, you can expect some blood w/ any hard effort in tough weather conditions; in fact, we probably all pass blood at times but don't even notice it... has to do w/ the breaking down of muscle tissue. My GP referred me to a urologist, and after weeks of not going, I got a letter from the dude telling me I'd better come see him. I did, and he did a test/procedure that I swear came out of SE Asia during Nam. Anyway, find a running injury site, and read up on it.

** But, if you ARE hydrated and still pass blood after an easy workout, get yourself a referral to a good urologist.

Urine in blood stream? Huh?

your bladder walls are hitting/rubbing against each other when your running. try running on a full or partially full bladder. i betcha you won't see anymore blood. MDs don't see this type of thing and don't have enough time to figure it out. this has been documented w/ soldiers who march a lot as well. that is all.

I've had this a few times over the years, always when I've really hammered myself in hot weather. I ignored it and it went away.

happened to me after vegas marathon in 1999.

went away after a week.i was told also it was caused by dehydrationand bladder walls slapping together

It happened to me. It was kidney stones. The doctor misdiagnosed it too. When you run, the stones move around and cause blood. Then it seems to clear up. You can purchase urine test strips which might prove useful if you like to self-diagnose. If it's stones, you will probably have other symptoms show up. It easy for runners to get stones due to dehydration.

I am not trying to be funny but is it possible to have a period multiple times in a month?

Have had this happen a few times as well, but only after really hard, long runs in either extremne hot or (once) in extreme cold.

Given that this is happening regularly, I'd go to another doctor. If that doesn't work, go to another. Repeat cycle until you find out what's going on.

Unless u happen upon a doc that seen this before u run a good chance of getting misdiagnosed.

Docs deal with sick people and thus look for pathological reasons.

Your problem is possibly of mechanical origin, vibration and other involuntary motion due to the running activity in the heat of summer.

I've had blood in my urine as an on and off thing for a couple of years now (began late June 2002). It seems to persist for several weeks, go away for several weeks or more, repeat. . .

I've had several rather expensive, and in some cases painful, and in no cases illuminating medical evaluations so far. The cystoscopy hurt like heck, the CT scan was very expensive (even with insurance), and nothing was found.

There are several very serious problems that can cause one to see blood in the urine, so I would recommend having some sort of medical evaluation; however, there is no guarantee that it'll be cheap, that'll be painless, or that anything will come of it regardless of what the problem is or what sort of tests your doctor conducts.
