Patient's question:
Reflecting symptoms, it has been about 2 years since the urine test showed blood. Regarding the past treatment and its effectiveness: When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, nothing was found, and no treatment was implemented. What kind of assistance would you like: I want to know what kind of disease it might be, and now I am pregnant, it could affect the adult...Doctor's answer:
A urinalysis for occult blood may be caused by an infection. The main symptoms include the recurrence of urinary irritation, such as frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, and discomfort during urination. These symptoms may vary in severity among different patients.If a urinalysis for occult blood reappears, it is advisable to undergo treatment with a sensitive antibiotic, preferably after conducting a bacterial culture. When urinary discomfort recurs and there is suspicion of a recurrent urinary tract infection with occult blood, it is best to preserve a urine sample (for bacterial culture) before taking medication. If medication is taken first and then a urine sample is collected, the bacteria may be suppressed and difficult to grow, which could lead to a "false negative."
